Euro Atlantic Series Co-Pro Pitch
A major highlight is the launch of the Euro Atlantic Series Co-Pro Pitch, a new activity designed to boost co-production and the international circulation of European fiction, docuseries, and animation projects with global appeal. This initiative seeks to strengthen cooperation among countries along the European Atlantic axis—Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and Luxembourg—as well as with Nordic countries and other European territories with a strong Atlantic outlook, such as the United Kingdom. The call for entries will select up to seven projects in advanced development; these will gain access to mentorship, specialized advice, one-on-one meetings, and a final pitching session before commissioners, investment funds, and potential international partners.
The selection committee for this inaugural edition comprises Laura Miñarro, VP of International Business and Coproduction at Buendía Estudios; Diego del Pozo, Fiction Manager at Atresmedia Televisión; José Fragoso, Programming Director at RTP1 and RTP Internacional; and Georges Huercano, Development and Co-production Manager at RTL. Co-production and Financing Forum: A benchmark for international projects
The deadline extension also applies to the 2026 Co-production and Financing Forum, one of the most established platforms for seeking co-production opportunities, financing, and strategic alliances for Ibero-American audiovisual projects.
Aimed at filmmakers, producers, and directors from Ibero-America and Europe, the Forum will select up to ten series projects and ten feature film projects. Participants will engage in personalized meetings with accredited producers, platforms, sales agents, distributors, and potential financial partners. The selection committee for this edition comprises showrunner Joanna Lombardi, TV Film International partner Karina Dolgiej, and Ventana Sur and BloodWindow founder Bernardo Bergeret.
Showrunner Workshop: Specialized training to boost new talent
Registration also remains open until June 18 for the sixth edition of the Showrunner Training Workshop. Coordinated by The Core School in collaboration with CIMA, the workshop will select up to twelve projects to participate in an intensive program focused on the creative, executive, and management roles inherent to the showrunner position.
The teaching team consists of Jorge Redondo, Tatiana Rodríguez, Miquel Peidro, and Leire Albinarrate, while the selection committee will be chaired by Enrique Darriba.
“Thinking Like a Producer: Creative Business Strategy” Workshop
This edition’s program also introduces the new “Thinking Like a Producer: Creative Business Strategy” workshop. It is aimed at producers, directors, screenwriters, and development executives interested in strengthening audiovisual projects from creative, industrial, and market perspectives.
The training will be led by Leonardo Zimbrón, current SVP of Co-production at 3Pas Studios, who will share tools for the development, financing, production, and international positioning of audiovisual projects. Organizers will select a maximum of 25 participants from the applications received. Professional accreditation has also been extended until the 18th of this month; it grants access to project calls and the extensive program of professional activities at Iberseries & Platino Industria. Furthermore, whether attending in person or virtually, participants will have access to the event’s private online platform, where they can consult the directory of accredited professionals, network, and view conferences and on-demand content after the sessions take place.
This essential event for the audiovisual industry is
Driven by EGEDA and the Secuoya Foundation, in collaboration with FIPCA and sponsored by the Madrid Film Office and Film Madrid Region, among other collaborating entities such as ICEX.
