The Producers and Film Projects Forum – Sapcine held its tenth edition between October 24 and December 2, concluding with the allocation of 395 incentives awarded by 126 partner institutions to 40 selected projects, including 20 national and 20 international titles. The call received 151 fiction and documentary submissions. Of the projects submitted, 27 were directed and/or produced by women; 12 addressed Indigenous or rural themes; 7 focused on Afro-descendant and/or Raizal communities; and 5 explored LGBTIQ+ narratives. In total, projects from 13 Ibero-American countries took part. The 2026 edition of Sapcine will take place between October and November.

"Sapcine works closely with its partners to make it possible for selected films to reach completion in each edition. This year’s awards were more targeted and more effective in supporting production and postproduction. Several projects were already in postproduction, which means they will be reaching theaters soon," said Alina Hleap, director of Sapcine.
