The 8th edition of Proyecta, the joint initiative of Ventana Sur, the Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes and the San Sebastian Festival, will host the presentation of twelve projects by filmmakers seeking funding and partners for their first or second movies. Ventana Sur will take place in Buenos Aires from 1 to 5 December.
During the event, the project representatives will have the opportunity to meet production companies, international sales agents, and festival programming heads, with the aim of fostering co-productions between Europe and Latin America.
Proyecta will include in-person pitching sessions on Wednesday, 3 December, led by the project main producers of each project, as well as other professional networking events.
This year’s selection represents a wide diversity of projects from Europe and Latin America, in both theme and geography. Seven of the selected projects are from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama, while five come from Germany, Romania, and Spain, reflecting an increase in European projects compared to previous editions. Among them, La boa y el bambú / The Boa and the Bamboo, by Maitane Carballo Alonso, and Houses are Silent, by Roxana Stroe, will have a new opportunity to be presented to an audience of professionals following their participation in the Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum at the San Sebastian Festival.
Representatives of the selected projects will have the opportunity to compete for various awards. One project will have the chance to participate in next year’s Sørfond Pitching Forum, where — if it meets Sørfond’s requirements — it may present the project to potential Norwegian co-producers, in addition to being automatically eligible to apply for Sørfond grants should it subsequently secure a Norwegian co-production.
Additionaly, two producers of the projects selected for the activity will be invited to the San Sebastian Festival in 2026. The projects will also compete for the Sideral Cinema Award, which consists of the pre-purchase of the international rights to one of the future films for a guaranteed minimum of €10,000. These awards complement other networking events designed to boost internationalisation of the projects and help accelerate their development.
The 12 projects selected for Proyecta in 2025 are:
Proyecta is part of Ventana Sur, the leading Latin-American film market organised by Marché du Fiilm - Festival de Cannes, Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales de Argentina (INCAA), Agencia del Cine y el Audiovisual del Uruguay (ACAU) and has the support of Creative Europe MEDIA.
