Sixteen projects, most of them never seen before at international co-production forums, have been selected from a total of 194 projects submitted from 28 countries for the V Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum at the 64^th San Sebastián International Film Festival. Additionally, as part of the festival’s collaboration with the Ibermedia Programme, another project selected in the Workshop to develop film projects from Central America and the Caribbean will participate in the Co-Production Forum out of competition. The final selection includes projects by directors and production companies of recognised track record alongside directorial debuts and production companies of recent creation. Many of the directors and producers participating in this V Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum have already presented other films at the Festival, such as Diego Dubcovsky, Andrés Longares, Aly Muritiba, Alejandro Fernández Almendras and Celina Murga.

Projects will vie for the Award for Best Project at the 2016 V Europe-Latin America Co-Production Forum, with €10,000, and the ARTE International Prize presented by ARTE France Cinéma, consisting of €5,000. Complementing the San Sebastian Forum and thanks to collaboration with the Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes and the I.N.C.A.A. (National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts) in Argentina, some of these projects will have the opportunity to continue on their international journey by participating in the Ventana Sur market and in the coming edition of Producers Network - Festival de Cannes.
