It’s an initiative in collaboration with Catalan universities that has been open to other Spanish and European training centers.
Audiovisual Talent Week
It was born as a result of the Audiovisual Pitching’s success in order to include other activities aimed at accompanying emerging talent, such as lectures or presentations of success stories, among others. Mixing professionals and students, it has become a real forum for debate on future trends in the audiovisual industry.

It includes personalized follow-up and the possibility of making international contacts.
