Objectives to be achieved
We believe that presenting the project “Last Books” in the MAFF 2021, participating in business meetings, is a unique opportunity to enhance the viability of the film, absorbing ideas and meeting people, means a quality seal for the project and find co-producers for the film.
Co-production´s interesting countries
The narrative proposal for “Last books” has the books as supporting characters, the presence of literature in history contributes to dramaturgy. Therefore, we can have literature representing a co-producing country. We already have Portugal as a minority co-producer and, due to the importance and strength of Spanish literature, we understand that a Spanish author - therefore, a co-production with Spain - would strengthen the dramaturgy.
