The Pitch for Platforms, Producers, and Distributors at Iberseries & Platino Industria targets audiovisual creators and producers from Ibero-America with projects in all stages—from concept or development to pre-production, production, or packaging. The goal is to foster connections between emerging or established talents and key industry decision-makers, including representatives from major streaming platforms, production companies, and distributors.
Selected projects will be presented in 15-minute private meetings with companies seeking to co-produce, fund, acquire, or distribute audiovisual content. Eligible formats include fiction, animation, and documentary feature films, as well as all types of series (fiction, animation, documentary, and non-fiction).
The event will take place from September 30 to October 3, 2025, at Matadero Madrid, as part of Iberseries & Platino Industria, organized by EGEDA and Fundación Secuoya.
Applications must be submitted through the official website. In the previous edition, over 150 projects were selected, and companies such as Amazon Studios, Sony, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Telemundo participated.

The FicCali Film Producers and Projects Salon emerged 7 years ago, as an initiative aimed at strengthening the film industry of Cali and Valle del Cauca, within the framework of the Cali International Film Festival. The positioning of the Festival invited us to reflect on the importance of generating a space dedicated to the world of film production that would work in at least two ways: as a means to explore emerging film projects in Valle del Cauca and as a tool to prepare and promote participating producers for an international audiovisual market environment.
