Every year, Doc at Work pays tribute to a European country by inviting a delegation of producers interested in developing new collaborations with Italy. The initiative aims to strengthen artistic and production ties between the two countries, creating concrete opportunities for professional meetings and exchanges. In 2023, the guest country was the Netherlands, while in 2024, the focus shifted to Switzerland.

The country featured in the 2025 edition will be France. Thanks to the collaboration with Unifrance, the French Embassy and the French Institute, the Festival will welcome a delegation of emerging producers from France and will host a focus dedicated to co-production opportunities between the two countries on Saturday 8 November 2025.
