BAM Talks 2025, the free, public event series of the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM), returns for its 16th edition from July 14 to 18, hosting a powerful lineup of international guests.

In parallel, BAM's Encuentros strategy celebrates 20 years of supporting Latin American cinema with three tailored training tracks in fiction, documentary, and animation. Industry professionals can register for BAM accreditations through July 7.
