A few days ago, Spain’s ICAA (Institute of Film and Audiovisual Arts), which reports to the country’s Ministry of Culture and Sports, launched a call (dubbed “Ten Promising Spanish Projects in Development”) to take part in an initiative intended to support film projects in development at the impending Marché du Film, which will take place on the website of the Cannes Film Festival on 25 June (click here to access the platform that will host the meetings).
