Proimágenes Colombia and the Bogota Chamber of Commerce welcome the eighth edition of the Bogota Audiovisual Market (bam). This year’s Market will feature the presence of our guest of honor France, as the culmination of its “Crossed Seasons” initiative, part of the Year of Colombia and France – 2017. bam will officially open with the Colombian premiere of the film Zombillenium (Arthur de Pins and Alexis Ducord). For the next five days, some 1,200 Colombian and international attendees will share experiences with more than 20 French guests, as well as around 60 international experts from various branches of the audiovisual industry.

Over the past eight years, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of expected deals and completed deals coming out of the Market, as bam has become the official showcase for Colombia’s film and television projects in development, completed short and feature films, web series, television series, and all kinds of stories that are waiting to be told. This growth is reflected in an increased participation in the many bam programs. This year, we have selected 50 talented young people (Bammers), 46 projects seeking co-production partners, 12 scripts that were pre-selected or awarded by the fdc and are seeking partners, 13 feature films that have been completed or are now in post-production, 102 titles available at the online video library, and 12 film festivals participating in the Sixth Workshop organized by the Film Department of the Ministry of Culture. And at our 18 bam Talks we’ll bring you the latest trends, best practices, and audience management practices for film and television content.

In order to offer attendees ever more opportunities to network, establish partnerships, and make deals with other industry stakeholders, this edition will launch several new events that will be held at the Gimnasio Moderno school. The bam Forum will host our now traditional networking brunches (bam Brunch) plus a new program of academic and promotional talks. The Lounge, sponsored by the National Television Authority, will be dedicated to television. And the Big Top will double its capacity this year, for a total of more than 30 exhibitors.

We are especially grateful to the National Council of Arts and Culture in Film (cnacc), for its crucial commitment to bam all these years. We have also received important support from our official partners—antv, Caracol, Cine Colombia, and bmw—as well as our long-time supporters—the Embassy of France in Colombia, sena, idartes, Invest in Bogota, the Ministry of Cul- ture, the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, procolombia, the Universidad Central, the Universidad Javeriana, and the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano; and the many others who have taken part in this initiative to strengthen the Colombian film and media industry.

We invite you to get into #ModoBAM, with all of the stories and formats in a single city. PRESENTACIÓN

Proimágenes Colombia y la Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá dan la bienvenida a la octava versión del Bogotá Audiovisual Market (bam), evento con el que culminará la presencia de Francia –nuestro invitado de honor– en Colombia en el marco del programa de cooperación “Temporadas cruzadas” del año Colombia-Francia 2017. Nuestro mercado se abrirá oficialmente con el estreno nacional de la película Zombillenium (Arthur de Pins y Alexis Ducord) y durante 5 días cerca de 1.200 acreditados nacionales e internacionales compartirán experiencias. Contaremos con la participación de más de 20 invitados franceses, a los que se sumarán alrededor de 60 expertos internacionales de los diversos campos de la industria audiovisual.

En el transcurso de estos 8 años, el bam se ha fortalecido en cuanto a expectativas y negociación efectiva, y se ha afianzado como la vitrina oficial de la oferta colombiana de proyectos audiovisuales en desarrollo, cortos y largo metrajes terminados, series web, series de televisión y propuestas de historias por contar. Esto se refleja en la gran acogida que ha tenido la convo- catoria de este año, donde han sido seleccionados 50 jóvenes talentos (Bammers), 46 proyectos en búsqueda de coproducción, 12 guiones preseleccionados o premiados por el fdc que están en búsqueda de aliados para realizarse, 13 largometrajes terminados o en etapa de postproducción, 102 títulos disponibles a través de la videoteca virtual y 12 festivales de cine participantes del vi Taller organizado por la Dirección de Cinematografía del Ministerio de Cultura. Las 18 conferencias que hacen parte de los bam Talks dan cuenta de las últimas tendencias, buenas prácticas y manejo de audiencias de los contenidos audiovisuales.

Con el propósito de seguir ofreciendo un ambiente cada vez más propicio para la consolidación de relaciones, alianzas y negocios entre los diferentes sectores de la industria, en la presente edición, tendremos otros nuevos espacios que facilitarán el encuentro de los profesionales en la sede del Gimnasio Moderno. El bam Forum, donde se llevarán a cabo nuestros tradi- cionales desayunos de networking (bam Brunch) y la nueva programación de charlas académicas y promocionales; el Lounge, dedicado a la televisión, auspiciado por la Autoridad Nacional de Televisión; y el Big Top, que duplica su capacidad para mas de 30 expositores.

Agradecemos especialmente al Consejo Nacional de las Artes y la Cultura en Cinematografía (cnacc), por haberle apostado al bam de manera significativa todos estos años. Resaltamos el apoyo de nuestros socios oficiales - laantv , Caracol, Cine Colom- bia, y bmw-, al igual que los aliados que nos continúan acompañando - Embajada de Francia en Colombia, sena, idartes, Invest in Bogotá, Ministerio de Cultura, Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones, procolombia, Universidad Central, Javeriana y Jorge Tadeo Lozano; y a muchos otros que se suman a este gran esfuerzo por fortalecer la industria audiovisual colombiana.
