SERIESLAND PRO

Submissions open / inscripciones abiertas / izen emate irekia

What sets us apart is our duality as a festival and a marketplace. In addition to providing a platform for the exhibition and discussion of innovative works, we also offer tangible business opportunities. Our business meetings connect creators with leading companies in the sector, facilitating collaboration and the creation of joint projects. Our project pitching also provides a platform for new talent to present their ideas to a global audience. At Seriesland Pro we explore the synergy between audiovisual and new technologies, making the most of the possibilities they offer. Seriesland Pro arises from the need to adapt and restructure the telecommunications industry to the new international landscape with the incorporation of new services for the creation and distribution of audiovisual and digital content. Seriesland Pro is a forum for exchange between experts, where companies can see what’s new in the audiovisual and technological world and make contact with new agents.

PITCHING

Creators and producers face the challenge of presenting their projects to a jury composed of global audiovisual companies, particularly interested in digital series. This process, known as pitching, involves exposing their proposals to specialized audiences, with the aim of securing funding, co-productions, or distribution for their productions. Each presenter meticulously prepares to stand out among their peers, delivering a concise and persuasive presentation of the viability and potential of their projects to these companies that can make their project viable. It is a crucial moment where creativity meets the pragmatic industry, and where the ability to communicate ideas effectively can define the future commercial success of a digital project.

In other editions, the jury has been composed of individuals representing companies such as Paramount, Viacom, EITB, K2000, MediaPro, Flixxo, Seeka TV, Un3TV, MTV, among others.

SPEED MEETINGS

Within the Festival framework, Speed Meetings take place, an activity where participants have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with key representatives of the audiovisual industry. These brief meetings allow creators, producers, and other industry professionals to establish direct connections with executives from production, distribution, and financing companies. In these fast-paced yet intensive encounters, participants present their projects, discuss potential collaborations, and explore business opportunities. With limited time, each meeting becomes an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas, establish strategic contacts, and progress in the development and realization of audiovisual projects.

BASQUEGUNA

WHAT IS "BASQUEGUNA"? Professional Conference in collaboration with Eiken & Getxo City Council

It is a specific event for local producers in collaboration with the main drivers of the Basque creative companies and the audiovisual and digital 2.0 sector.
