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.
ECAM FORUM is visited by artistic directors and programmers from festivals such as Cannes, Venice, Berlinale, Sundance, Locarno, Rotterdam, Toronto, San Sebastián, New York Film Festival, MoMA, Marrakech, Thessaloniki, Zurich, Series Mania, sales agents such as Coproduction Office, Goodfellas, MK2, Le Pacte, Memento, Films Boutique, and Alpha Violet; markets such as Les Arcs, MIA Market, MAFIZ, BAM Bogotá, and Cinemart; and leading independent production companies from France, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, the US, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Greece, Canada, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay, among others.
Films presented at ECAM Forum have in only two years made it to premiere at Venice, Toronto, Locarno, Rotterdam, San Sebastián, Sitges and FID Marseille; and have also played at festivals such as Chicago, Indielisboa, Karlovy Vary, Jeonju, Málaga, BFI London, Les Arcs, Thessaloniki, AFI Fest, Transylvania, Palm Springs, and Vancouver, including films like Los Tortuga by Belén Funes (TIFF Toronto 2024), Milkteeth by Mihai Mincan (Venecia 2025), Last Night I Conquered the City of Thebes by Gabriel Azorín (Giornate Venecia 2025), Balearic by Ion de Sosa (Locarno 2025), Gods of Stone by Ivan Castiñeiras (IFFR Rotterdam 2025), Ariel by Lois Patiño (IFFR Rotterdam 2025), Hanami by Denise Fernandes (Locarno 2024), Aro Berria by Irati Gorostidi (San Sebastián 2025).
Madrid's Meetings on Financing, Investment, and Independent Film was launched in 2025 by ECAM and the Madrid Audiovisual Cluster with the strategic objective of connecting the independent film sector with new financing and investment models. FINDE aims to build bridges and provide producers with concrete tools to explore new financial models and facilitate mutual understanding between investors, funds and creators. Over two days, the Meetings combine specialized training on private investment and equity for producers, presentations by international funds, and meetings between funds, investors, independent producers, and industry professionals.
The first edition featured some of the most important investors in Europe focused on financing independent film, such as Together Fund and Logical Pictures, as well as representatives like Rémi Burah (CEO of ARTE/Cofinova), Giorgos Karnavas (CEO and founder of Heretic), and Sophie Erbs (producer and founder of Gaijin). It also had the participation of María González Veracruz - Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, María Coronado from SETT (Spanish Society for Technological Transformation), as well as representatives from the Community of Madrid and the Madrid City Council.
