A delegation of 10 Polish producers will travel to the San Sebastian Film Festival to take part in the Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum, which this year selected the eastern European nation for its Focus on program.
For the sixth edition of Focus on, which invites industry professionals from a specific country or territory to the Spanish fest, Polish bizzers will have an opportunity to build professional networks with their counterparts elsewhere in Europe and in Latin America.
“We think Polish film is going through a great moment thanks to a very interesting
new generation of filmmakers which we follow closely,” said San Sebastian industry
head Esperanza Luffiego, selection committee member Roberto Cueto, and head of
foreign press Gemma Beltrán by email.
They noted that the producers invited “have a record of international co-
productions,” adding that their presence in the Europe-Latin America Co-Production
Forum is “part of the festival strategy creating an environment for co-productions
and fostering cultural diversity and the circulation of films in non-hegemonic
languages.”
