SOUK PROJECT MARKET
The Red Sea Souk Project Market 2025 will feature a selection of 40 projects including 24 feature films in development or production and 8 Works-in-Progress. The selection also will present 8 episodic projects which are being developed through the Red Sea SeriesLab, in partnership with Film Independent.
Taking place from December 6–10, the Project Market is designed to bolster international co-productions and grant access to new projects and talent. The call for projects will be opened to include projects by directors from across the Arab World, Africa, and Asia.
12 of the feature projects in development are taking part in the 2025 Red Sea Lodge program and are currently advancing through intensive workshops in collaboration with TorinoFilmLab. Projects will compete for cash awards, provided by the Red Sea Fund and awarded by the Souk Project Market juries.
Participating projects are also eligible for additional awards provided by the Red Sea Souk award partners.
