EAVE | Puentes Latin America - Europe Co-Production Workshop
EAVE - European Audiovisual EntrepreneursPUENTES Europe - Latin America Co-Production Workshop is a project-based year-long training programme including two 5-day residential workshops and a market module at Ventana Sur.
PUENTES brings together producers from Latin America and Europe around the same table to discuss common co-production projects and facilitates access to the respective markets. It combines, on the one hand, a reliable group of cross-cultural high-level experts and decision makers and, on the other hand, a group of participants who are key players in the Latin American and European markets. The core focus of the workshop is the development of feature-film projects by experienced Latin American and European producers. PUENTES creates a safe space for discussion and the exchange of experiences, where the participants can share insights into their industries with colleagues from other regions.
Furthermore, PUENTES is also open for other European professionals from the whole value chain, such as sales agents, financiers, distributors, festival programmers and co-production market representatives who are interested in collaborating and working with Latin America, and who wish to focus on their career development during the workshop.
In the 14 years of its existence, PUENTES has become the most relevant and successful training programme for developing European-Latin American co-productions, with exceptionally good results in terms of sales and distribution and festival exposure: 82.5% of the finalised projects developed at PUENTES get an international sales agent on board and 70% of the projects have a successful festival exposure.
