Bio to B - Industry Days | Drama returns on June 9, 2025 for its 4th edition, ready to welcome professionals from the publishing and audiovisual industry in an all-new location, the Auditorium Enzo Biagi, inside Sala Borsa.
With this event Biografilm aims to be a point of reference for film and television production companies and anyone looking for stories to be transposed into audiovisual format, and offer a dedicated space where they can find them.
There are two main moments: the Adaptation Market - speed-date between publishing players and film and audiovisual producers interested in the possible exploitation of rights for adaptations - and the Fiction Factory Showcase, dedicated to the proposal of new original subjects selected by us.
Our workshop WHEN EDITORIAL AND AUDIOVISUAL SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE is dedicated to resolving all the doubts that often characterize the process of acquiring rights for film adaptations, going to observe the functioning of this negotiation in every part.
Finally, there will be one-to-one events in which to have a direct confrontation with the reference reality: MEET THE AUTHORS, FOCUS STORIES OF LIFE, and BPER TABLE.
The event is organized with the contribution of the Film Commission Emilia-Romagna and in collaboration with CNA Cinema and Audiovisual Emilia-Romagna and CNA Publishing Emilia-Romagna.
