Each year, more than 500 high-profile industry professionals, including sales agents, distributors, producers, funding bodies, and public agencies, attend the Nordic Film Market. This makes it the premier regional event for discovering promising projects and networking with Nordic talents and producers. The 2025 edition of Discovery will feature a curated lineup of 14–16 projects.

Recent projects that have been part of the Discovery lineup include The Holy Spider (Ali Abbasi), The Opponent (Milad Alami), Pleasure (Ninja Thyberg), The Quiet Migration (Malene Choi Jensen), and Sick of Myself (Kristoffer Borgli).

As part of the Discovery platform, selected projects are eligible for the prestigious €15,000 Film Finances Scandinavia Award. This cash development award recognizes one outstanding project from the lineup, offering essential support for its continued development. The award is generously presented by Film Finances Scandinavia.
