The ECAM Incubator chooses the projects for its 6th edition

Six editions gestating projects for the future of Spanish cinema.

    One more year, and there are already six that have been, The Incubator already has its new feature film projects that will be part of this new edition. The ECAM program is aimed at Spanish directors, screenwriters and producers, open to first works as well as second or third films by the director. Each project will receive an endowment of 10,000 euros as development aid and each team will have a travel bag to cover their trips to Madrid if they reside in other autonomous communities. These are the projects selected in this latest edition:

    – A HEAD ON THE WALL, by Manuel Manrique. Produced by Diego Saniz. Kabiria Films. Drama

    Three years have passed since the abolition of bullfighting in Spain and Rafael Jesús can no longer be the bullfighting figure he was destined for. He wanders the streets trying to fit into this new world that doesn’t hold any space for him. Every step he takes takes him further from the sand, and closer to the blood.

    Within the 5 editions of La Incubadora that have been developed so far (with a total of 25 projects), there have been a total of 21 nominations for the Goya Awards.

    Several of the projects selected in other editions have been selected to participate in international festivals, such as the Berlinale (‘Cinco Little Wolves’, ‘Matria’ or ‘20,000 Bee Species’, which will be present in this next edition of the German contest and are some of the Spanish films that we will see in 2023, Rotterdam (‘La mala familia’) or Locarno (‘Sacred Spirit’), as well as national festivals such as San Sebastián (‘Ane’, ‘La Inocencia’, ‘Josefina’).

    9 feature films have the support of the ICAA and 8 with the support of TVE. ECAM Industria promotes the creation of new feature film projects with the intention of being a bridge between the school and the European audiovisual industry.

    The School of Cinematography and Audiovisual of the Community of Madrid presents the set of initiatives aimed at promoting the production of feature films, supporting emerging talent and revitalizing the audiovisual fabric. One of the founding objectives of the ECAM is to accompany professionals in the sector in their work and creative journey. To this end, it develops initiatives that promote cooperation between institutions, national and international organizations, agents and professionals in the cinematographic and audiovisual sector.
