In 2025, thanks to collaboration with Quezon City Film Commission (QCFC), ten Filipino audiovisual professionals will have the possibility to expand their contact network and to increase their co-production opportunities with other European and Latin American countries.
The delegation includes a diverse group of participants: six producers representing six different Quezon City-based production companies, two emerging producers who live there, and two producers whose projects have received support from QCinema’s annual Project Market.
In line with its commitment to fostering cooperation with Europe and Latin America, QCFC will present the QCinema Award within the framework of the Co-Production Forum. The award, consisting of €4,000 in development support, will be granted to the main producer of the winning project. This award is part of QCFC’s broader mission to foster inclusive, globally engaged cinema through its flagship festival, QCinema International Film Festival, held annually in Quezon City, Philippines.
