The seventeen projects were selected from among a total of one hundred and four proposals entered from eighteen countries, mostly in Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Spain, the UK, Uruguay and Venezuela.
The selection committee made particular mention of the wide variety and high quality of the projects presented, many of which are signed by directors and producers of long artistic and professional standing, while others are extremely interesting projects by new filmmakers taking their first steps in the world of feature films.
For two days, the project creators will work to a busy agenda of meetings with distinguished professionals from the international industry. The aim is to establish contacts with co-producers and distributors potentially interested in contributing to the projects with a view to ensuring their production and improving their international viability.
By way of continuation to the San Sebastian Forum and thanks to collaboration with the Festival de Cannes Marché du Film and Argentina’s National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA), some of these projects will have the opportunity to continue their international trajectory with participation in the Ventana Sur market and in the next edition of the Cannes Producers Network. These events will decisively boost the international promotion of the participating projects.
