This agreement—coordinated between the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Economic Development of Buenos Aires, CAIC, and Netflix—is designed to strengthen the competitiveness of Argentina’s audiovisual industry by promoting inclusivity and providing growth opportunities, particularly for underrepresented communities.

Scheduled for April 10-11, 2025, as part of the Buenos Aires International Independent Film Festival (BAFICI), this event will unite audiovisual production companies from Argentina’s six regions: NOA, NEA, Cuyo, Patagonia, Centro Norte, and Centro Metropolitana. The meeting will facilitate national collaboration and knowledge sharing through roundtable discussions on topics such as co-productions, digital platforms, cash rebate programs, and regional project development.

Four production companies per region—24 in total—will be selected to participate, with invitations covering airfare, accommodation, travel expenses, and full event accreditation, including additional BAFICI networking activities. Applications are open from March 14 to 24, with selected participants announced on March 26.
