Registration is now open for Films in Progress 14

Films in Progress 14 will take place on Tuesday 23th and Wednesday 24th September 2008 at the 56th International Film Festival. The deadline for registering projects is 30 June 2008. The International Film Festival can be informed of projects from now on.

This rendezvous, jointly organised with the Rencontres Cinémas d’Amérique Latine de Toulouse (France), targets the completion of Latin American feature films which, though shot, are having problems with the post-production stage and their subsequent screening in cinemas.

A programme of Latin American films still at the provisional stage, jointly selected, will be exclusively screened for professionals –producers, distributors and exhibitors, sales companies, TV networks, technical industries, aid funds, institutions and festivals– capable of playing a decisive part in helping these works to reach the public.

The following awards will be granted at Films in Progress 14:

• The Films in Progress Industry Award: Estudios Exa, Kodak (división de cine profesional), Mediapro, Molinare Madrid, No Problem Sonido, Technicolor Entertainment Services Spain and Titra Film will jointly assume the post-production of a selected film until achieving an english subtitled 35mm copy.

• The TVE Award, consisting of the purchase of the broadcasting rights for one of the selected films.

• The Casa de América Award for Aid to the Post-Production of Latin American Films, carrying €10,000 (gross).

The films participating in Films in Progress have access to international diffusion on the Instituto Cervantes world network.
