Venice Production Bridge Pascal Diot We never know whether a new concept would deal with people’s demands and thus we were Savina Neirotti more than happy when, after the first edition of last year, we received the publishers’ feedbacks.
[email protected] www.labiennale.org It was the first time for them that, rather than focusing on one book, they were able to present their entire catalogues and, above all, they had the time to have in-depth conversations with the producers. Fostering long term relationship between them was our aim and we achieved it. Consequently, we decided to increase the number of publishers to 19 and to expand it beyond the European borders. This year, publishers from USA and Japan have joined our French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Belgian, English and German established publishing companies. We thank all those publishers who are presenting an incredibly wide range of novels, drama, children’s literature, genre fiction, short stories, comics, mangas, graphic novels, essays… suitable for cinema and audiovisual adaptations.
