The San Sebastian Festival expanded the Industry Department and boosted its activities towards professionals by launching in 2012 the Europe-Latin America Coproduction Forum. Intended for industry professionals, this initiative seeks to promote the participation and cooperation of these professionals, mainly European, in new projects and to open new channels of funding and international promotion for their films. With the Co-production Forum for developing projects and Films in Progress for films at the post-production stage, the Festival Industry Club positions itself with regard to the international industry as a benchmark platform between the European and Latin American film industries. In addition to these events, a series of activities based on the needs of European professionals are organised for accredited industry guests at the Festival such as “Lau Haizetara” Documentary Co-Production Forum or the upcoming San Sebastian Producers Lab (in collaboration with European Film Promotion). Parallel to the above, throughout the entire Festival the Industry Department provides its accredited guests with the services of the Industry Club space and its more than 500m² in the Kursaal Centre. It includes rooms and technical teams for professional activities, specific areas for exhibiting promotional material and other services, such as the Festival online film library offering restricted access to accredited Industry guests or the MEDIA informative stand.The San Sebastian International Film Festival, and therefore The Industry Club, employs an active promotion policy during the year, publishing brochures, carrying out public relations activities and meetings with numerous professionals with a view to their participation in the San Sebastian Festival.
