Ventana Sur is the most important market for audiovisual content in Latin America, and it is a must in the schedule of distributors and buyers from the international industry.
Since 2008 the event was organized by the Marché du Film – Cannes Film Festival in coordination with the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) and for the 2024 edition, the Uruguayan Film and Audiovisual Agency (ACAU) will join the event to organize the market in Uruguay for the first time.
In 2024, Ventana Sur will take place from December 2 to 6 in Montevideo. For the first time, Uruguay will have the privilege of receiving the most important protagonists of the international audiovisual industry. The edition, called Río de la Plata, will have a strong identity of its host country: human scale, with talent, excellence, professionalism, transparency and closeness. Following the tradition of Ventana Sur, it will be an event organized in sections, market, conferences, screenings and meetings. In this edition, in addition to the classic Ventana Sur sections (Copia Final, Primer Corte, Proyecta, Animation, Blood Window and Maquinitas), new ones were created for providing a renewal: Latam Series Market, En Breve, Entre Guiones and Ventana Doc.
Ventana Sur brings together the different players in the audiovisual industry to promote the co-production, financing and international distribution of Latin American content.
The event welcomes 3000 accredited participants every year, including more than 250 buyers and sellers from all five continents, as well as representatives from the most important networks and international platforms. At the market, they can meet with content producers at business conferences, pitching sessions and one-on-one meetings; they also have access to roundtables, specific actions for producers with projects in development, workshops, talks, and conferences about current topics, with a vision for the future.
Through its different sections, its activities and services such as conferences, screenings and the Video Library, Ventana Sur promotes Latin American content of all genres and formats, providing a wide range of business possibilities and promotion, unique in the region.
