After sorting submissions, the next Nebulae edition will run with a "programme of meetings, presentations and a pitching session for national projects", the hosts said.
Producers, distributors and other professionals will gather to see pitching sessions by Georgian presenters at the industry section, set to run between October 22-November 1, alongside the festival.
