Co-organized with CAA Media Finance, a new San Sebastian Festival Creative Investors’ Conference will see many of the good and great of the international film business descend on September’s fest edition to be pitched 10 higher-budget Spanish movies by their producers.
The conference’s high-profile international investors, producers, agents and executives take in MUBI’s Bobby Allen, Piers Wenger at A24 Europe, Focus Features’s Kiska Higgs, 30West’s Trevor Groth, Vincent Maraval at Wild Bunch International and Netflix’s Teresa Moneo. CAA Media Finance’s Roeg Sutherland, Benjamin Kramer and Sarah Schweitzman will attend the conference and moderate sessions, along with conference co-curator and San Sebastian Festival consultant Wendy Mitchell.
The Creative Investors Conference forms part of Spanish Screenings XXL, a three-stage market organised under the aegis of Spain’s post-pandemic Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan to convert Spain into one of Europe’s preeminent film-TV hubs.
