El Principio del Film

Movies start here

This section offers quality stories to audiovisual producers and investors through a selection of unproduced scripts and a selection of literary works with great potential for adaptation.

The main objective is to promote the talent of creators from the region and facilitate the achievement of production agreements.

Market For Unproduced Feature Film Scripts

The market presents a selection of unproduced feature film scripts. These scripts have been developed through prestigious laboratories, official cultural organizations and/or film institutes from Latin America. The market is co-organized by Argentores (Sociedad General de Autores de la Argentina) and SADA (Sindicato Argentino de Autoras y Autores).

In 2023, in alliance with the MAFIZ-Málaga Festival, we are adding a selection of Andalusian scripts in order to develop a stronger and more solid Ibero-American cinematography in the international market. This alliance is sponsored by Consejería de Cultura, Turismo y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía and the collaboration of Academia de Cine de Andalucía.
