This year’s catalogue includes more than 400 works produced either entirely by Catalan producers or co-produced with other regions in Spain and abroad, covering themes and styles that range from comedy to drama, along with the genre films that have given us an excellent position in international markets in recent years. Not to be forgotten, of course, are the documentary and TV animation, both of which continue to boast a prominent niche of their own in the industry. This catalogue is one of the key tools that enable Catalan Films & TV to take part in the leading international audiovisual markets and festivals on the 2012 agenda, which has been approved by participating CF&TV members. Indeed, despite the circumstances of the world economy, the Catalan audiovisual industry is in excellent health. Pa Negre / Black Bread, for example, was the Spanish Film Academy’s proposed candidate in the race to the 2012 Oscars. What’s more, the sale of the rights to Polseres Vermelles / Red Bracelets in the US is paving the way for other films, while the ongoing presence of Catalan productions in the world’s most important festivals, amassing countless awards, is assuring us a solid upcoming season. This year, we are launching an online catalogue that will enable us to publish – and accompany – other more specific publications on paper for certain markets and/or sectors. This tool, which we present to you here, is complete with our comprehensive database, which is now also available in android, i-phone and i-pad applications. We hope you will find this compilation useful, as it comprises an excellent sample of Catalonia’s finished and upcoming projects, and we are sure that the catalogue will contribute to expanding the visibility and international scope of Catalan audiovisuals. We invite you to enter, explore and seek out anything you wish to see, programme and finally purchase. You will not be disappointed!
