Spanish Screenings on Tour is one of the four pillars of Spanish Screenings XXL alongside Spanish Screenings Content (Malaga Film Festival), Spanish Screenings: Financing & Tech (San Sebastian Film Festival) and Spanish Screenings 360, a programme of activities running throughout the year which also includes the creation of the virtual promotion and business platform PLATFO. The initiative includes the creation of an audiovisual market for Spanish-produced content that promotes the exchange and generation of new projects in a context of interaction and business that helps to strengthen the value chain of the Spanish audiovisual industry.
