#FEATURE #GENRE - Ventana Sur 2024
Every year, the BIFFF goes to Ventana Sur (VS), the biggest film market in Latin America (https://www.ventana-sur.com/en/). The 2024 edition of the market will this year take place in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. At the genre section of the market, Blood Window, we discover the latest and upcoming Latin-American genre movies for the festival and works in progress for the BIF Market.
One Belgian genre project will get the chance to present itself at VS to the Latin-American film industry professions. It will give the possibility to find coproduction, post-production, co-funding partners, cast & crew… at meeting tables, networking events, cocktails and parties. In order to be eligible for Ventana Sur / Blood Window your project must at least have a completed script, be looking for production contacts or be in the pre-production stage. One representative for the chosen project will get flights, accommodation and accreditation covered. Practically speaking, Ventana Sur 2024 will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay from Monday 2 till Friday 6 December. You would depart on Sunday 1/12 and leave on Saturday 7/12.
If you’re interested in coming along for this unique trip and you have at least a completed script on your desk, then send us your project info (script, contacts, visuals, production info…) before the 1st of October so that we can select one lucky project! chris@bifff.net; dianne@bifff.net
