Ventana CineMad is on a mission: to help open up Madrid’s vibrant audiovisual scene to the wider world and promote local and regional industries, by offering a boost to filming and production. In this spirit, the event will feature coaching sessions and meet-ups with potential coproducers, sales agents, distributors, TV networks, VOD platforms and more. This year also heralds the welcome return of international investors, absent in 2020, while continuing with the online format: confirmed attendees include production companies from Belgium, France, the UK and Germany.

The first day is when the teams behind 18 selected audiovisual projects will make their pitches, while the second is given over to two round tables: one on the launch of the Spain Audiovisual Hub and the other on the country’s new General Audiovisual Communication Law. This year’s event will be streamed on a dedicated YouTube channel coordinated by AMA (Madrid Audiovisual Association), in partnership with Madrid City and Regional Councils as part of the portfolio for Economy, Innovation and Employment.

Of the 86 projects submitted, 18 were singled out for their international potential, quality, artistic value, financial viability and links with the city and region of Madrid. The final cut includes seven full-length fiction films: Alumbramiento, a drama directed by Pau TeixidorChinas [+leggi anche:
