The section focused on launching scripts to the film industry market
In this 2024 edition, we seek to bring authors of unpublished material —original works or adaptations— closer to agents of the film industry, with an emphasis on establishing partnerships that will allow the selected scripts to materialize into films. We aim at a selection of works in a germinal state, which awaken the interest of potential producers. Eight scripts from all over the continent will be selected for this year’s edition.
The section is focused on unpublished treatments and scripts of fiction feature films that are still in the preliminary stages of writing (both original works and adaptations), which have been awarded in any of the national public calls for screenplay/writing development lines for the period 2023/2024.
