FOURTH LATIN AMERICAN SCREENS TV MARKET Location: Hotel Sofitel Santa Clara Cartagena de Indias - Colombia November 19 to 21, 2001 ___________________________________________________________________________
COMMITMENTS OF A NEW MARKET
Created in 1998, Latin American Screens was designed to respond to the rapid growth of the Latin American TV market: 17 countries and half a billion inhabitants. During three days, executives of the Latin American TV industry and their foreign colleagues, can discuss, exchange, buy and sell programs and jointly develop projects and ideas.
The first three editions allowed us to achieve some of the long term objectives of this innovative market:
- foster program exchange among Latin American countries, and the rest of the world,
- create an event allowing international broadcasters and producers of the region to do business,
- provide an accessible platform for Latin American buyers from regional and national TV stations, local cable and cultural networks to evaluate and acquire international programming,
- allow international producers and distributors to discover the region's cultural and economic characteristics and enable them to propose program packages that meet the demands in quantity and budget of the Latin American buyers,
- develop a project market, by creating a closer relationship between possible co-producers, Latin American and from the rest of the World.
AN INTERACTIVE AGENDA
An important feature of the Latin American Screens is the Interactive Agenda.
