The fourth edition of Iberseries & Platino Industria is welcoming applications for projects to participate in its co-production and financing forum, scheduled to take place from 1-2 October 2024. The forum targets Ibero-American filmmakers, directors, producers and cinematographers with feature films, fiction series, documentary series, and animation series projects at advanced stages of development.

Supported by ICEX Spain Export and Investment, the Forum aims to facilitate connections with potential co-production, co-financing, distribution and dissemination partners, with a special emphasis on projects bridging the gap between Europe and Latin America.

The objective is to enhance the development of projects with high production value, thus reinforcing co-production models between significant players in the Latin American and European audiovisual sectors. To qualify, project producers must submit a budget and financing plan with a minimum of 30% of the production cost already secured. The deadline for submitting applications is Thursday 23 May, at 4:00 PM (GMT +2), Madrid, Spain time.

Available as both in-person and virtual options, with early-bird rates until 1 June, professional accreditation provides access to a private virtual space facilitating contact with accredited participants, the arrangement of meetings, and on-demand viewing of the main presentations and content.

The registration period for projects to participate in the Platform and Production Pitch Sessions of Iberseries & Platino Industria 2024 is currently open as well.

An MGM Company, Paramount, Secuoya Studios, Sony Pictures, Telemundo Studios and Warner Bros Discovery.
