The Lau Haizetara Documentary Coproduction Forum of San Sebastian and the Preciosa Media distribution company have renewed their collaboration agreement with the aim of continuing to boost and consolidate their backing of the documentary industry. For the second consecutive year, the distribution company will grant the Distribution, Festival Route and Screen consultancy prize consisting of 4 hours of online consultancy.
The aim of this initiative is to offer the best commercial distribution strategy and to define the best internationalization route for the winning project. The project’s state (advanced development, pre-production or production state), its narrative structure and the audience at which it is aimed will be assessed. Preciosa Media considers it important that the project has an international approach which is of interest to Latin American audiences.
The winning project will be selected by the person who attends the forum representing Preciosa Media.
