The VS – CORTOS 2025 call is a section of the Ventana Sur market dedicated to Latin American short films in advanced post‑production or finalized with a world premiere available. The submission deadline is September 15, 2025, and the market takes place from December 1 to 5, 2025 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Eligible films must be up to 29 minutes long and originate from Latin America or majority Latin American co‑productions, meaning international submissions are accepted within that regional scope. Projects must be un‑premiered (no prior public screenings) and without confirmed sales agents, and at least one representative must be available to attend in person. The call accepts all film genres in the short film format and forms part of a professional audiovisual market, offering mentorships, curated screenings, business meetings, and networking to help position shorts internationally. Selected films will be announced in late October 2025 and must deliver final screening materials by November 14, 2025.
