During the three days of the market, international buyers, sales agents, VOD-SVOD platform managers, festival programmers, digital creation platforms, national and international distributors and foreign producers will have the latest in Spanish production all at their disposal.

SELECTION CRITERIA
In selecting the works for the different sections of the event, the Spanish Screenings Content committee will especially consider the following criteria: that the works have not been previously shown in the national territory; that they have received regional or state aid; that they are stories with potential for international success, and that they are first and second works. Additionally, in the configuration of the different sections, special attention will be paid to gender equality and diversity in terms of direction and production.
