Chile continues to claim its place at the big international markets! Taking place during the next few days, until November 5th, is a new version of American Film Market (AFM), one of the most important markets in the film industry which, for the first time, hosts a Chilean delegation thanks to the contest and support provided by Chile’s Association of Film and Television Producers (APCT).

The delegation is made up of Giancarlo Nasi (Quojite Films) and Carina Puffe (Promocine), who are currently online promoting their projects-in-development and seeking alliances to achieve the finalization of their audiovisual works (presskit).

AFM is characterized as a big window to the audiovisual world of the continent, bringing together hundreds of buyers, producers, and exhibitors from around the globe annually. It represents a grand opportunity for national producers.

We invite you to get to know the power of our delegates at AFM 2021!

Carina Puffe (Promocine)

With more than 15 years of experience in programming and developing television content, Carina is one of the strongest figures in the national audiovisual industry. She’s been an active participant at markets like Natpe, L.A. Screenings, and Mipcom, creating an important network of contacts in the industry globally.

Alongside Promocine, one of the Chilean audiovisual companies with the greatest impact abroad in recent times, she is promoting two new projects by Nicolás Acuña, both in search of co-production and funding.

• Cepeda:

  A crime series that portrays a murder investigation in Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca. Despite her adversities and putting her life at risk on more than one occasion, the detective in charge of the case is decisive about catching the killers.

• Campoamor:

  A drama set in 1992 following the recent transition to democracy in Chile that tells the story of a botched truck theft and how two young members of an armed leftist group break into the home of a family and take them hostage to protect themselves.

 Giancarlo Nasi (Quijote Films)

With vast experience inside the industry, Nasi has more than ten feature films under his belt, including Lina From Lima (María Paz González, 2019) and White on White (Théo Court, 2019), the film recently selected to represent Chile at the Oscars in 2022.

Along with Quijote Films, he has formed important co-production collaborations with international companies and has participated in the most important markets and festivals in the world, such as Berlin, Cannes, and Venice.

In this online version of AFM he is promoting projects by Niles Atallah and Diego Céspedes.

• The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo:

  The first feature by Diego Céspedes, an LGBTQ+ film that portrays the 1980s HIV/AIDS crisis in a mining town in the north of Chile.
