The FIRE!! PRO FIRE!! PRO It is aimed at professionals in the film sector (directors, producers, exhibitors, distributors, actors, journalists, teachers and students of film schools, etc.), and also at any other person in our audience interested in knowing how to understand more about the audiovisual industry.

… to create spaces for reflection and creation given the low production of LGBTI-themed films in our country, compared to other countries such as France, Germany, the United States and others in Latin America.

In Spain, the cinema dedicated to affective and sexual diversity is – paradoxically – very absent. Here, the distribution relies heavily on foreign films to address the LGTBI issue. Although the LGBTI community is here particularly active, relatively well integrated into the social environment and quite visible on the media and television level, all of this is not very often reflected in local film production.

For all these reasons, from FIRE!! PRO , Industry section of the FIRE Exhibition!, we have 3 main objectives:

To promote discussion and training on the production and marketing of national LGBTI-themed films.

Implement a support space for the creation and development of LGBTI-themed audiovisual works.

To support screenwriters, directors and audiovisual producers in the realization of their works on this subject in the initial stage of the cinematographic process.
