Proyectos BAL

The 11th edition of the Buenos Aires Lab (BAL) – the co-production market of the Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente (BAFICI), organized by the City’s Ministry of Culture – will be held between April 4 and 6, 2014.

The BAL aims at supporting the development and production of Latin American cinema. It coordinates activities targeted at filmmakers and producers of the region to foster the bond between professionals and the search for funding.

BAL’s 2014 edition will have a double program: the Work in Progress (WIP), a selection of Argentine and Latin American film projects currently in the shooting or post-production stage; and the 3 Puertos Cineworkshop, organized jointly with the Valdivia International Film Festival’s AustraLAB and dedicated to Argentine and Latin American projects in an early stage of development.

 

In addition to competing for an award in the framework of the BAL – BAFICI, the WIPs will have a major opportunity again in 2014, as part of the program BAL goes to Cannes, which started at last year’s BAFICI: some works will be selected to participate in the Marché du Film – Cannes International Film Festival with an exclusive screening at the Palais des Festivals, with guests including some of the international film professionals attending the most important market in the industry.

The 3 Puertos Cine workshop will begin at the BAL and have its second part at the AustraLAB, in the framework of the Valdivia International Film Festival 2014. Finally, some of the projects will travel to CineMart, the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s co-production market, in January 2015.

We invite filmmakers and producers from all Latin America to submit their projects and WIPs to the BAL.

We are eagerly looking forward to receiving your works for this new edition of the BAL!
