Havana, October 14 – With the aim of promoting projects, generating alliances, and accessing international opportunities in the audiovisual world, the MECLA-Isla Abierta 2025 Latin American Film Market will take place from December 7 to 11 in Havana.
The event's call for entries will be open until next November 15. The gathering will accompany the 46th International Festival of New Latin American Film, making Havana a strategic bridge between Latin America, the Caribbean, and Eurasia.
With an inclusive and dynamic vision, the new audiovisual market promotes the circulation of content and talent, opens innovative East-West cooperation routes, and generates investment opportunities and strategic alliances, the organizers announced.
More than an exhibition space, it is a platform to project the creative, technical, and economic potential of our region into international markets, the text states.
Isla Abierta invites producers, distributors, sales agents, festival and digital platform programmers, production and post-production service companies, startups, and technology developers applied to audiovisuals.
It also invites filmmakers, collectives of creation, academic institutions, regional associations, and film and new media authorities.
In statements to the newspaper Juventud Rebelde, Tania Delgado, director of the Festival, stated that Isla Abierta will be the ideal space to foster the convergence of East and West, charting routes in both directions and generating investment opportunities and strategic alliances.
She emphasized that the event will promote content, talent, and projects, and will discuss Latin American film and with the Eurasian region. "Our industry needs this space to interact with external stakeholders and open up to the world," Delgado added. She indicated that representatives from Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Honduras, and China, among other nations, are expected. (PL) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
