The Buenos Aires Film Commission assisted this year to the Mar del Plata’s International Film Festival with the intention of promoting the city as a location set and to offer counseling to the international projects that will be shooting in the city.
This is the only “A” festival in Latin America, qualified for the FIAPF (International Federation of Asociation of Film Producers). And this year, with 280 feature films and 120 short films, in its 29th edition it has become a must do in the industry.
Close to the Festival’s end, Buenos Aires hosted “Ventana Sur”, a market focused on the latinamerican market co organized by INCAA and the Marché du Film. The BACF was also a part of it as a member of the Latin-American Film Commission Network.
After five succesful editions, Ventana Sur has become the mail Latin American Film Market. Each year, it receives more than 2,000 accredited members, among whom there are more than 300 buyers and sellers from across the five continents.
During the market, there are 8 theatres available where films are screened daily, offering potential buyers the chance to watch them on the big screen. The market also includes the presence of distribution companies, large areas where buyers and sellers can hold business meetings, several conference rooms as well as specific activities for producers and buyers.
Ventana Sur is the perfect spot in Latin American for business and networking.
