ABOUT

ECAM FORUM is an international co-production market and industry event dedicated to promoting the Spanish audiovisual sector. It serves as a bridge between the national and international audiovisual industries, connecting top creative talent with a prominent delegation of independent cinema professionals from around the world.

An industry-focused event structured around four project presentation sections — Films to Come (feature films in development), Last Push (feature films in post-production), Forum Shorts (short films), and ECAM Series Market (TV series). The event also features a curated program of professional workshops and panels (Industry Talks), a space for multidisciplinary dialogue and reflection (The State of Things), and FINDE, a forum dedicated to investment and financing in independent cinema.

In just two editions, ECAM FORUM has established as a key new international co-production forum in Spain with a strong editorial line bringing together high-level projects and attracting some of the key players of independent cinema internationally.
