This is a project created to promote the community as a surprising film set, encouraging the development and production of 8 scripts to facilitate their access to the audiovisual industry.
GENERAL CATEGORY. Participants must shoot on location in the community (exteriors, interiors, private, public…) and present a short film with a free theme. A film product made in La Rioja.
FITUR Screen takes on the challenge of contributing to making Spain a global Audiovisual Hub. Its aim is to become a platform that connects the tourism and film industries through the dissemination of knowledge about film tourism, commercial exchange between the different actors and the formulation of proposals for the future development of this sector in Spain.
A film or television shoot, in addition to its impact on the local economy, is a powerful tool for promoting tourism and facilitates the positioning of the territories.
FITUR Screen has its own space with an exhibition area featuring the offerings of the various participating agents, a B2B area, and an area for the conference programme.
The full programme will be announced soon here.
