Latin America's biggest film market: Ventana Sur returns to Buenos Aires in 2025! Over the years, BIFF has developed a very close relationship with Ventana Sur, giving a Belgian filmmaker the opportunity to present a BIF Market-style project to the Latin American film industry. This will help to find co-production, post-production and co-financing partners, actors and crews... at meeting tables, networking events, cocktails and parties.

Pour être éligible à Ventana Sur, votre projet doit au moins avoir un scénario achevé, être à la recherche de contacts de production ou être en phase de pré-production. Lorsqu'un projet est sélectionné, le transport international, l'hébergement et l'accréditation sont pris en charge pour un représentant du projet.

Concrètement, Ventana Sur 2025 aura lieu du lundi 1er au vendredi 5 décembre 2025 au Palacio Libertad, au cœur de Buenos Aires. Vous partirez le dimanche 30 novembre et repartirez le samedi 6 décembre. Si vous souhaitez arriver plus tôt (ou partir plus tard), la date du vol peut être modifiée, mais les nuits d'hôtel supplémentaires seront à votre charge. Si une autre personne impliquée dans votre projet souhaite vous accompagner, elle devra prendre en charge les vols et l'hébergement.

Si vous souhaitez participer à ce voyage unique et que vous avez au moins un scénario terminé sur votre bureau, envoyez les informations relatives à votre projet (scénario, contacts, visuels, informations sur la production...) au BIFF à l'adresse suivante: chris@biff.net
