In only two years, ECAM Forum, the boutique post-Cannes co-production market in Madrid, has sealed its reputation as a must-attend event for international players tracking down Spain’s wealth of talent, co-production opportunities and the next festival hits – from Spain and beyond.

Indeed, out of 16 works in progress pitched in 2024 and 2025, 13 landed at top-tier festivals such as “Milk Teeth” by Mihai Mincan (Venice 2025), “Last Night I Conquered the City of Thebes” by Gabriel Azorín (Venice Giornate degli Autori, NYFF 2025), and “Balearic” by Ion de Sosa (Locarno 2025, BFI London).
