of independent movies from South America and Spain experiencing
difficulties with the post-production stage, has this year received
52 projects from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,

In addition to their exclusive presentation to professionals
from different stages of the film process (producers, distributors,

and aid funds), these movies will opt for a series of incentives:
- Films in Progress Award, granted by the technical industries,
which will assume the entire remaining post-production process
of a film screened at Films in Progress 6, until achieving
a final copy in 35 mm with its corresponding subtitles.
- Casa de América Award, carrying 9,000 euros, to the
post-production of a film appearing in Films in Progress.

for its subsequent TV broadcasting rights in mutual agreement
with the film’s producer.
- Film in Progress movies have access to international diffusion
via the Cervantes Institute worldwide network

on Thursday 23, of an individualized presentation of the almost
40 screenplays forming part of the II Curso de Desarrollo de
Proyectos Cinematográficos Iberoamericanos (2nd Course
on the Development of Latin American Film Projects) directed
by producer Gerardo Herrero in Madrid and organized by the Casa
