Since 2014, the San Sebastian Festival’s Industry Department has been organising ‘Focus on’, the initiative under which a group of professionals come to the Festival from a region or territory to expand their contact network and participate in the Industry activities.
In 2023, thanks to collaboration with Cinema do Brasil, eight Brazilian professionals from the audiovisual sector will have the possibility to find partners for their projects and to increase their co-production opportunities with other European and Latin American countries.
Ever since Antonio Carlos da Fontoura’s A Rainha Daiba / La reina diabla was the first Brazilian film to compete in the Official Selection in 1975, the attendance of this cinema has been a constant at the Festival.
Thus, the fruitful collaboration started in 2008 between the San Sebastian Festival and Cinema do Brasil has enabled the continuous presence of Brazilian productions, both in the competitive sections and in WIP Latam and the Europe-Latin American Co-Production Forum.
In 2023 San Sebastian will see the screening of seven Brazilian productions and co-productions: Puan, by María Alché and Benjamín Naishtat in the Official Selection; Estranho Caminho / A Strange Path by Guto Parente and Pedágio / Toll by Carolina Markowicz in Horizontes Latinos, winner of the Projeto Paradiso First Prize at WIP Europa 2022; El auge del humano 3 / The Human Surge 3 by Eduardo Williams and Los delincuentes / The Delinquents by Rodrigo Moreno in Zabaltegi-Tabakalera; and Los días libres / The Days Off by Lucila Mariani and Ninho Tinto / Red Nest by Alice Stamato and Val Hidalgo in the Forum.
The initiative began in 2014 with the Focus on Canada, thanks to the collaboration with Telefilm Canada. The country was such a success that it was repeated again in 2015. In 2016, in collaboration with the Danish, Icelandic and Norwegian film institutes, the Focus on concentrated on Nordic Glocal. In 2018 it was dedicated to the Baltic countries and in 2019, thanks to the collaboration of the Polish Film Institute, to Poland, while 2021 saw the Focus on Georgia, with the collaboration of the Georgian National Film Center, and 2022 the Focus on Serbia in collaboration with the Film Center Serbia.
