Barcelona Plato attends the Cannes Film Festival and Market
Once again, the city's film commission has taken part in the audiovisual market organised in parallel to the International Cannes Film Festival. Via the Marche International du Film (MIF), Barcelona Plató Film Commission has promoted both the city's most various locations suitable for shoots and the city's wide range of companies linked to the audiovisual industry.
Production companies from USA, London, Germany, Portugal and New Zealand have contacted the film commission's representatives at the Catalan Films & TV stand searching for information and looking for the Barcelona Plató Audiovisual Production Guide.
On the other hand, as in previous editions, the MIF has been an important meeting point for the European film commissions. This time, the film commissions have continued with the talks to constitute a European Film Commission's Network. The proposed network would work to coordinate the tasks of Film Commissions in any European country, region or city, as well as facilitate the shoots for companies of any nationality.
