Today the San Sebastian Festival opens its call for submissions for WIP Latam, the work in progress whose goal is to support Latin American film production with a view to the completion of films at the post-production stage.
The San Sebastian Festival selection committee will select up to six films from among all those submitted, which must have a run-time of more than 60 minutes and be produced in the majority by producers from Latin American countries. The deadline for submission is July 1.
WIP Latam will be held on 20, 21 and 22 September, coinciding with WIP Europe and the 10th Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum.
In 2020, a year of pandemic, the Festival attracted 1,185 industry delegates (1.749 in 2019), of which 487 participated online and had access to the Industria Online area of the Festival's site. This area, which contains the Industria Department digital contents, will continue to be available this year.
Two new awards will be given this year at WIP Latam: the Projeto Paradiso Award, a philanthropic initiative of the Olga Rabinovich Institute which supports Brazilian talents in the audiovisual field, and coming with 10,000 US dollars gross for one of the possible majority Brazilian productions in this section; and one screening at the Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes 2022 for the winners of the WIP Latam Industry Award and the EGEDA Platino Industria Award for Best WIP Latam, which will reinforce the films’ international trajectory.
