MIP CANCÚN 2025 is the leading content and co-production market for Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market, taking place November 18–21, 2025, at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancún. It targets audiovisual professionals including producers, buyers, distributors, platforms, and brands.
There are four participation options: Networking Pass, Content Market, Co-Production Market, and Meeting Pods. All formats include accommodation, meals, access to conferences, screenings, and a digital platform for 1-on-1 meetings.
Spots are limited, especially for those formats involving pre-scheduled meetings. While no official registration deadline has been announced, early registration is strongly recommended to ensure access to the matchmaking system, which launches in early November.
The 2025 edition will feature special programs such as the Creator Economy Track (with a keynote by YouTube), the Branded Content Program, and the Beyond the Stream Summit. The all-inclusive format fosters networking, global exposure, and effective deal-making in a single location.

The Alternativa – Barcelona Independent Film Festival – launches a call for its Cinema Pendent Development Lab, aimed at filmmakers with fiction, hybrid, or experimental feature films in the writing or development stage. The lab consists of four days of intensive work guided by mentor Pau Subirós, focusing on narrative, conceptual, and stylistic analysis.
Selected projects receive a €500 grant, professional mentoring, festival accreditations, and access to networking events. They may also qualify for awards and be referred to other programs such as EXTREMLAB or the GAC Pitching Forum.

Development Lab - L'Alternativa
A workshop to stop and observe, to feel, to experience the passage of time, to reflect on what is filmed, and simply to want to make cinema. A contemplative cinema – slow cinema – in contrast to a chaotic, frantic, and globalized world. A cinema to reconnect with oneself, a cinema to raise awareness.
OBJECTIVES: ➝ Learn to observe and connect with the act of filming.
➝ Develop a unique perspective and personal style.
➝ Introduction to cinematic language.
➝ Shoot an audiovisual piece (portrait of a city or self-portrait).
