Proimágenes Colombia and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce, with support from the Colombian Film Development Fund and in partnership with Telefilm Canada, are excited to invite Canadian producers who are genuinely interested in international collaboration with Latin American countries to participate in the 16th edition of the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM). This event will take place from July 14 to 18, 2025, in Bogotá, Colombia.

BAM has become a key regional platform for discovering exceptional Latin American talent and forging meaningful co-production partnerships. The market showcases carefully selected film and series projects—both live-action and animation—chosen for their strong creative vision and solid production potential. 

This is a unique opportunity for Canadian producers who: 

• Are actively seeking projects and IPs from Colombia and Latin America to co-produce or adapt. 
• Are interested in exploring the Colombian audiovisual ecosystem, one of the most vibrant and fast-evolving industries in the region, including its innovative system of incentives and tax deductions for filming in Colombia. 
• Are looking to build long-term relationships with Latin American producers, screenwriters, and studios. 
• Have a proven track record or a genuine commitment to international co-productions and are open to co-creation models. 

What BAM Offers: 

• One-on-one meetings with emerging and established Colombian talent and production companies. 
• Exclusive screenings of Colombian feature films and work-in-progress short films seeking distribution and sales agents. 
• Access to market sessions, masterclasses, panels, and curated talks exploring the latest industry trends and co-production opportunities. 
• Networking events that foster informal yet productive connections with local and international industry leaders. 
• Opportunities to discover new voices in Colombian audiovisual, including the next generation of creative producers. 

Basic Requirements: 

• Canadian producers must have experience in a feature film or series production (live-action or animation). 
• Canadian producers must be actively seeking a co-producing partner for a project (feature or TV series), and, preferably have prior experience in co-productions. 
• Canadian producers must have the capacity to finance or arrange financing for international co-productions. 
• Availability to participate on-site in Bogotá between July 14–18, 2025.
