European projects must have an express link with Latin America.

The Europe-Latin America Co-production Forum, which takes place from September 23 to 25, consists of the presentation of the selected projects through a pre-recorded pitching and one-to-one meetings between those who produce and direct the film and potential partners.

In addition, the projects selected in the Forum that meet the requirements will be able to participate in the next edition of the Producers Network of the Marché du Film-Festival de Cannes.
