The FicCali Film Producers and Projects Salon emerged 7 years ago, as an initiative aimed at strengthening the film industry of Cali and Valle del Cauca, within the framework of the Cali International Film Festival. The positioning of the Festival invited us to reflect on the importance of generating a space dedicated to the world of film production that would work in at least two ways: as a means to explore emerging film projects in Valle del Cauca and as a tool to prepare and promote participating producers for an international audiovisual market environment.
