The Book Adaptation Rights Market has selected 30 international publishing houses and literary agencies plus 3 for the VPB Focuses (1 within the FOCUS ON LUXEMBOURG WALLONIA – BRUSSELS supported by Film Fund Luxembourg and Centre du Cinéma et de l’Audiovisuel and 2 within the FOCUS ON JAPAN supported by JETRO).
The Venice Production Bridge will give them a dedicated area to meet the producers registered to the Venice International Film Festival through one-to-one meetings. The meetings will allow to foster lasting relationships and to make deals on the adaptation of novels, dramas, children’s literature, short stories, comics, graphic novels, essays, and biographies.
The Book Adaptation Rights Market will enable the invited publishers to propose their entire catalogue for film adaptation, rather than focusing on a single book, as opposed to other events dedicated to publishing within the scope of film festivals.
