Prensario International, a pioneer media company with almost 50 years in the entertainment business, confirmed details today for the fifth edition of Virtual Screenings. As in previous years, the event will be held in partnership with NATPE.

The fifth online edition will be held from June 7-16 under the title LA Virtual Screenings (LAVS). This follows the success of its previous editions last two years, which gathered +4,300 participants, with +1,550 buyers, from almost 130 countries.

Nicolás Smirnoff, managing director, Prensario International: “VS was one of the few virtual events which saw a huge success during the pandemic, taking place four times (twice per year) with 4,000 participants each in 2020 and 2021. Now that the physical events are back, we’ll provide only one edition per year, and have that one edition be much stronger. it will be held two weeks after to avoid overlapping actions. The event will target the worldwide content industry, complementing the LA-based in-person event, where the independent market is focused on Latin America”.

JP Bommel, President and CEO of NATPE commented: “NATPE is thrilled to be associated once again with LAVS which has proven to be the ultimate integrated online platform for discovery and distribution of content globally.”

Almost 20 companies have already confirmed their participation as exhibitors: Turkey’s Inter Medya, Kanal D and MADD, as well as the European Banijay Rights and all3media (UK), CDC United Network (Belgium), RTVE (Spain), and SIC (Portugal); from Latin America and USA, Caracol TV and RCN (Colombia), Globo (Brasil), Televisa (Mexico), Canal 13 (Chile), Cisneros Media and Snap (USA), Onceloops (Argentina); and from APAC, GoQuest (India).
