Uruguay Hub Audiovisual

Is the networking space of Working JIIFF, where institutional alliances are fostered to strengthen the film industry and support its growth.

In this edition, two complementary actions come together. On the one hand, Italy is the guest country and takes part through both public and private representation. On the private side, the production company Dispàrte, represented by Luigi Chimienti, who shares reflections and experiences on co-production between Italy and Latin America. The schedule includes moments for analysis and screening, reading sessions, and the presentation of works in development. On the institutional side, the Embassy of Italy in Uruguay and Cinecittà participate.

On the other hand, the HUB opens a space for one-to-one meetings, welcoming producers and industry professionals who wish to connect with the producers invited to Working JIIFF. These close exchange sessions make it possible to share perspectives, identify affinities, explore projects, and open concrete conversations around potential co-productions. Through brief, focused meetings, new ties are formed and networking is strengthened between Uruguay, the region, and the world.

Encounters that, sometimes in silence, pave the way for future films.
