The call is open to unpublished projects of fiction or documentary feature films, TV movies and television series in the development phase for the search for financing. Transmedia, crossmedia and multiplatform projects can also register.

CIIF Market 2019 will select up to a total of 10 projects and 4 literary works, taking into account quality criteria, international projection, talent of the producers, directors and viability of the financing plan. The fact that it is the first time the project is presented in a forum, that the production company has made at least one international co-production, the innovation in formats and the approach of new distribution and financing formulas, as well as previous works completed by the director and/or producer will be valued.
In the case of Canarian literary compositions, the quality of the works, the talent of the authors and the feasibility of being adapted to film, television or digital platforms will also be taken into account.
Participants will have the opportunity to have a personalized schedule of meetings with invited professionals and potential investors to co-produce their projects or adapt their literary works, as well as attend different presentations, workshops and colloquiums. Likewise, they will be able to opt for various prizes for their promotion abroad.
