VENTANA SUR
In 2024, Ventana Sur will take place from December 2 to 6 in Montevideo. For the first time, Uruguay will have the privilege of receiving the most important protagonists of the international audiovisual industry. The edition, called Río de la Plata, will have a strong identity of its host country: human scale, with talent, excellence, professionalism, transparency and closeness.
Ventana Sur is the most important market for audiovisual content in Latin America, and it is a must in the schedule of distributors and buyers from the international industry.
Since 2008 the event was organized by the Marché du Film – Cannes Film Festival in coordination with the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA) and for the 2024 edition, the Uruguayan Film and Audiovisual Agency (ACAU) will join the event to organize the market in Uruguay for the first time.
We are excited to announce the participation of Italy at this year’s Ventana Sur, with a delegation organized by the Italian Trade Agency, the Italian Ministry of Culture’s Directorate for Cinema and Audiovisual and Cinecittà.
They will be available to discuss exciting opportunities for co-productions, partnerships, and market strategies that highlight the creative force of Italian films.
