/PRNewswire/ -- The national audiovisual industry showcases its
work once more on the world cinema stage with its participation in
the Marché du Film, the audiovisual market of the prestigious
Cannes festival, in France, from May 14 to

The Costa Rican delegation comprising the Foreign Trade Promotor
(PROCOMER) and local firms Noche Negra Producciones, EQV Worldwide
Film Services, Café Cinema, Cymbiola Films, Gelb-Hi Pictures, and
Equal Film, will be present in the esencial COSTA RICA stand, promoting both the services
and content it generates, as well as the country as a first-class
movie destination. Furthermore, it will be a space for business
meetings and networking activities to generate leads and strategic
partnerships with different companies in the sector.
"The Marché du Film is a crucial platform for filmmakers,
audiovisual producers, directors, actors, distributors, sales
agents, platforms, investors, and other entities related to the
film industry, where business opportunities are generated,
international collaboration is supported, and innovative projects
are promoted. It is also a showcase to the world to demonstrate the
talent and innovation of Costa Ricans," commented Mario Sáenz,
Export Development Manager of PROCOMER.
One of Costa Rica's objectives
of participating in this event is to promote the six Film Friendly
Zones of our country, as well as the new incentives for the
industry, and the opportunities for coproduction.
"Furthermore, Costa Rica's
participation in the Marché du Film seeks not only to promote the
visibility of local projects and talent, but also to attract the
interest of potential foreign investors. With a conducive
investment environment and a growing audiovisual infrastructure,
Costa Rica presents itself as an
attractive destination for foreign direct investment in this
industry that offers a favorable outlook for those who are seeking
investment opportunities in the film and audiovisual sector,"
added Sáenz.
In addition, during the festival, promotion of the 2024 Central
