As part of its continuing policy to support screenwriting in Latin America, foster artistic creation and encourage novice screenwriters in the highly competitive audiovisual industry, the Latin American Training Center-LATC presents another edition of its traditional annual screenplay treatment competition, LATINX, with the support of the Brazilian Forum for the Teaching of Cinema and Audiovisual Studies (Forcine), Final Draft screenwriting software, and LatAmcinema.com
This year’s theme is “Latin American Diversity,” aimed at highlighting the diverse stories and idiosyncrasies offered by each country in the region and providing visibility to narratives focused on women, people of color, LGBTQ+, indigenous communities, among other local cultural manifestations. This new initiative by LATC seeks to increase inclusion and the space for Latin American diversity in the audiovisual industry. More information is available in Portuguese and Spanish.
