Conecta FICTION Sets Dates for Fourth Edition

The fourth edition of Conecta FICTION is scheduled to take place from June 22 to June 25, 2020, in Pamplona-Iruña in the Navarra region of Spain.

The Congress Center and Auditorium of Navarra (Baluarte) is set to host Conecta FICTION for the second year in a row. The event is supported by the Government of Navarra through NICDO (Navarra’s Infrastructure Culture, Sports and Leisure), SODENA (Navarra’s business development entity) and the SGAE Foundation, with the collaboration of CLAVNA (Navarra Audiovisual Cluster) and NAPAR (Navarra Association of Producers and Audiovisual Professionals). Inside Content is responsible for the design and the production of the event.

Last year’s Conecta FICTION welcomed more than 700 professional attendants coming from more than 24 countries.

Géraldine Gonard, director of Conecta FICTION, said: “Conecta FICTION has shown to be effective and very profitable for producers, investors and talent. The comments have been unanimous in this regard, and so we want to encourage all those who want to attend Pamplona, to work on and expand their business expectations, whether for their own projects or by investing in third-party projects and getting to know Navarre, its industry, and what it has to offer for suitable filming locations. The mechanics for this new edition will maintain its core concept: there will be different project-pitching sessions, conferences, workshops, keynotes and one-to-one meetings. However, we are preparing new surprising aspects that will intend to go one step further if we compare it to other international gatherings, but without losing sight of our main goal, which is that Conecta FICTION should be practical, it should work, and should be the reference gathering where participants always obtain results.”

Photographer José Luis Tejedor, who created the image for Conecta FICTION 4, which is part of his series Tránsito, said: “The series invites us to flow between the busyness of thousands of people in a specific scene. I really liked the idea of joining Conecta FICTION with my series Tránsito, expanding the original series that includes moments portrayed in several cities such as Madrid, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Barcelona, New York and Dubai. In Conecta FICTION, my project focuses on people and their experiences; they are the ones who build the spaces. Tránsito is much more than the simple act of moving between spaces, places, and paths. They are moments, stories, time and identity. The fusion of all those magical moments of professional exchanges, which occur in specific meetings and moments all in the same space. That is what I have tried to capture, the reality that will give way to fiction.”
