24/08/2018 - The two industry programmes of the San Sebastián International Film Festival will welcome a total of 20 projects

Sixteen projects from 11 countries have been selected for the seventh Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum, and Glocal in Progress will welcome three films. The two industry programmes of the San Sebastián International Film Festival will thus welcome a total of 20 projects.

The Co-Production Forum has registered in its seventh edition 223 submissions, 34% more than last year (165). Furthermore, the film selected at Ibermedia’s Workshop to Develop Film Projects from Central America and the Caribbean will participate out of competition. The proposals selected for the Forum, to run from 23-26 September, will come from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Guatemala, Italy, Mexico, Spain and Switzerland.

On the other hand, Glocal in Progress, to take place on September 24, 25 and 26, has the objective of lending greater visibility to European productions in non-hegemonic languages (those not filmed in English, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish). The three selected films are at the post-production stage and will be screened to an audience of producers, distributors, sales agents and programmers, among other professionals, in order that they may contribute to their conclusion and international distribution. Two films from the first edition of Glocal in Progress will join the programme of the festival’s 66th edition: Telmo Esnal's Dantza [+see also:
