Press release

PUENTES in Montevideo and Buenos Aires! 

The fifth edition of PUENTES – EAVE’s workshop for producers from Europe and Latin America - comes to its culmination in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The second PUENTES workshop will take place in Montevideo (Uruguay) from November 29 – December 4, 2013, organised with our partners from Mutante Cine.

Following the workshop and thanks to our special partnership with VENTANA SUR (December 3-6, 2013), the producers selected for PUENTES and EAVE ON DEMAND Montevideo will attend the market in Buenos Aires where they will meet potential partners and decision makers for the projects they have been developing at PUENTES throughout the year.

The PUENTES participants started to develop their projects under the guidance of leading industry experts from both continents during the first workshop in Bellinzona, Switzerland (August 8-14) in partnership with the Festival del film Locarno. In the second workshop in Montevideo, Uruguay, the participants will continue to develop and package their projects exploring sources of finance as well as examining marketing and distribution networks across both Europe and Latin America. 

Parallel to the PUENTES workshop, a tailor-made EAVE ON DEMAND session in Montevideo will be organised for 10 selected Uruguayan producers. In addition to their ‘à la carte” workshop, the producers will have the opportunity to network with the Puentes participants and attend VENTANA SUR together.

The selected producers will work on the development and financing of their projects under the guidance of top industry professionals from both continents.
