WOMEN-LED PROJECTS STAND OUT FOR CONECTA 2021

After a successful call with more than 300 applicants from various Latin American countries, a total of 77 projects were selected to participate in the 5th international documentary industry meeting event Conecta, which will take place virtually in January 19 to 28, 2021.

On this occasion, the leading role that women have acquired in the event is well noted, with a total of 53 proposals being directed and produced by women, which will allow them to improve opportunities and enhance the production, marketing and distribution of their documentaries. This reinforces the need to continue to make visible and enhance gender equality in the industry.

The selected projects will be able to dialogue with more than 70 national and international guests, such as funds representatives, festivals, markets, distributors, sales agents, screening platforms, exhibitors, programmers and producers, thus enabling the Latin American market to be supported by making known the diversity and richness of gender equality in the world.
This year there are 26 projects selected for the category Conectados, an instance that aspires to match the interests of the projects with the financing roles and lines of work of the guests.
