Fondosa Foundation, Projeto Paradiso Launch Argentine-Brazilian Women Scriptwriter Initiative (EXCLUSIVE)
Announced at Ventana Sur, the program will ensure world-class mentorship for two screenwriters, from Argentina and Brazil.
Lucrecia Martel, one of the world’s great filmmakers (“The Swamp,” “The Holy Girl,” “The Headless Woman,” “Zama” ), looks set to become the program’s first mentor. “For Projeto Paradiso it’s amazing to see other philantropic organizations offering opportunities for talents in Latin America and we are glad to work with Virginia Juarez.” “Project development is our main focus and it’s great to work again with Lucrecia Martel as a screenwriting consultant, the first time we did was with Incubadora Paradiso, our fiction film development program and it was fantastic,” she added. Júarez recently founded the publishing house Torre de Marfil alongside the Fondosa Foundation, in a strategic alliance with “UMa Films,” a holding company of cultural businesses based in Córdoba, Argentina, and its European branch Hispánica Audiovisual, located in Madrid.
