Iberseries & Platino Industria and Ibero-American film

The sixth edition of the Iberseries & Platino Industria event concluded in Madrid at El Matadero. The four-day multisectoral gathering hosted 3,250 professionals from 54 countries, representing over 1,700 companies.

The program featured more than 120 activities, including conferences, financing forums, workshops on new technologies, and pitch sessions for producers and platforms. Major participants included Netflix, Amazon, HBO Max, and Movistar+, alongside content production entities and literary agencies. During the event, the Ibero-American Federation of Cinematographic and Audiovisual Production (FIPCA) marked its 30th anniversary.

Recent developments show a broader expansion of audiovisual industry activities across Ibero-America. In Madrid, the Madrid Audiovisual Cluster participated in Iberseries to connect the local ecosystem with international agents, while Telemundo Studios joined discussions on strategies to combine Latin identity with international appeal.

Other regional highlights include the 23rd edition of Oberá en Cortos, scheduled for October 6 to 11, which will feature films across 22 screens in 15 cities spanning Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Cuba. Additionally, the European Film Meeting is set to arrive in Córdoba, Argentina, to showcase contemporary European cinema with support from the European Union and various embassies.
