The WIP Latino 10 call from the GuadaLAjara Film Festival (GLAFF) supports feature films by Latinx, Latin American, and BIPOC filmmakers based in the U.S., in the editing or early post-production stage. It aims to boost projects with a rough cut between 60 and 140 minutes that still need at least two post-production processes, providing in-kind prizes, professional services, and a cash award. Submission is free and done online via a secure streaming link. Selected projects will be showcased in November 2025 in Los Angeles, receiving visibility and expert feedback. Participants must be over 18, hold a key creative role, and not be full-time students. Finalized films must include GLAFF and WIP Latino credits. This opportunity is perfect for creators seeking technical, creative, and promotional support to finish their films. The deadline to apply is August 20, 2025.

GLAFF - WIP Latino
Tres Puertos is a workshop with residency-like characteristics for feature film projects in the development stage. Throughout its history, it has held sessions in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The workshop focuses on both the narrative, aesthetic, thematic, and conceptual aspects of the projects, as well as on production-related areas and financing circuits. Tres Puertos does not work with thematic modules but rather approaches each project based on its specific needs.
