ZG PRO is the space that Zinegoak dedicates to the film industry, specifically to innovation research and training in relation to LGTBIQ+ audiovisual production. This area is essential to raise the visibility of agents and spaces that work in the development of cinema related to sexual diversity, identity and gender, and to bring these agents closer to specialised training spaces. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst it is true that in recent years there has been more queer cinema in commercial circuits that reaches the public through theatres with great success, for most projects this remains an impenetrable wall. For all these reasons, ZG PRO 2024 continues to support the creation of LGTBIQ+ film projects at a local, national and international level.<\/span><\/p>\n

To support this trend, we once again count on the collaboration of the Network of LGTBIQ+ Festivals Southern Europe, which includes Queer Lisbon and Queer Porto, Mix Milano, Ch\u00e9ries-ch\u00e9ris from Paris and Zinegoak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, we have the support of The State Network of LGBTIQ+ Laboratories (La Red Estatal de Laboratorios LGBTIQ +), formed by FIRE!!! LAB, from the Mostra FIRE!!! in Barcelona; QueerCineLab – made up of the Fundaci\u00f3n Tri\u00e1ngulo festivals: Lesgaicinemad, Cinhomo, Andalesgai and Fancinequeer – and Zinegoak. Together with the San Sebastian International Film Festival (SSIFF) and for the second year running, each laboratory is awarding the ZG PRO Industry SSIFF Award to a project participating in its space, guaranteeing the presence, participation and access to the different industry forums of the SSIFF to the producers of the winning works. This initiative arises with the aim of creating an alliance that gives more visibility and promotes LGTBIQ+ projects. At ZG PRO, the award is chosen by a committee made up of professionals from different areas of the cultural and film sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides, the digital marketplace for film and TV projects, Incoproduction, is once again on board, increasing its collaboration with the creation of the ZG PRO Work in Progress (WIP) platform, andwith Music Library & SFX support.<\/span><\/p>\n

ZG PRO will take place over two days. On 27 June in the Bastida hall of the Azkuna Zentroa (AZ), master classes will be delivered by different leading professionals from the audiovisual and cultural sector at local, national and international level; and on 28 June in the Iparragirre hall of the AZ, where ZG PRO LAB will take place. At this event, the selected projects will be presented in pitching format, two relevant conferences will be presented in the field of film production and one-to-one sessions will be held with the ZG PRO jury members.<\/span><\/p>\n

All ZG PRO activities are open to the general public, however, special attention is paid to professionals in the sector and students interested in training in the field of the film industry with a focus on LGTBIQ+ culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    A conversation between Jo\u00e3o Ferreira, director of the Queer Lisbon and Queer Porto film festivals, and the artist and curator Alejo Ducl\u00f3s, responsible for the project Memorias Sinverg\u00fcenzas. A dialogue on the importance of working with the film archives when it comes to creating the present of the sex\/gender dissidents\u2019 community.<\/p>\n

                    How can we work with the archives in festivals? What strategies can we use to confront the erasure of the queer community from official archives? How can we reconnect with the past in order to articulate the networks of resistance of today?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=””]27 june<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    At a time when white, heterocentric capitalism is phagocytising struggles and identities, it poses challenges for autonomous contemporary creation. The writer and one of the founders of Sudakasa, Gabriela Wiener, will talk about how rarely independent the independent tends to be today; and the need to generate community, diverse, anti-racist and combative spaces that articulate with each other towards the construction of a common agenda and social transformation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=””]27 june<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Beyond the market and family exist the tiny and overlapping structures that sustain us in our work and life. How are we creating mutual spaces and queer neighbourhoods? In what ways can we gain collective agency to resist a social context that is increasingly adverse to dissidence? With Tatiana Romero, Emilio Papamija, David Velduque and EHGAM we insist on analysing, from different approaches to film and activism, the ways in which we can create conditions of collaborative, enjoyable, resilient and affectionate living.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=””]27 june<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    La Morada is a feminist and queer housing co-operative located in Barcelona. But how has it been possible to build this collective living project? La Morada reminds us that sharing everyday life in a common space is key to addressing interdependence and sustainability of life. How was it possible for them to balance individuality and communal living? Why did they choose the alternative formula of shared use? What does the collectivisation of tasks look like in practice?<\/p>\n
