One of Latin America’s largest audiovisual industry events, the Bogota Audiovisual Market (BAM), kicked off on Monday in Colombia’s capital.
From July 14 to 18, Bogota’s cultural scene will be bursting with creative energy as local and international film producers, distributors, sales agents, and national audiovisual services and television channels come together to share specialist knowledge, build partnerships, and enhance the exchange of film projects, according to the event’s official website.
Along with some 250 investors from 20 countries expected to attend the event, there will be a delegation of more than 30 companies from the UK, this year’s guest of honor. The Canada Media Fund, as well as representatives from such renowned international film festivals in Berlin, Toronto, and Hong Kong, will also be in attendance, according to Colombia’s El Espectador newspaper.

The week-long agenda includes a range of BAM talks, subtitled “200 Tips for Audiovisual Distribution and Marketing,” where each of the 19 talks and six modules illuminate a different aspect of the topic.
BAM organizers are challenging their experts to sum up their talk in 90 minutes with 10 tips and one case study, so that by the end of the week, participants will have 200 leads with concrete, precise information to put into action, according to the BAM website.
Tickets for BAM Talks are $2.50 and are available online at the Primera Fila website or at Cine Colombia ticket booths across Colombia.
