The business-minded sideshow of the Atlantic Film Festival will put its spotlight on Brazil, Argentina and Mexico this fall in Halifax.

Organizers of Strategic Partners, the copro market for film, TV and some stage projects, cited the recent winning streak of the films from the three countries.

‘Award-winning films by Mexican talent — Pan’s Labyrinth, Babel, Y tu mamá también and Children of Men — have put its industry on the international map,’ said organizer Jan Miller, nodding also to the ‘booming’ industry in Argentina and recent trade missions to Brazil.

Strategic Partners runs Sept. 12-14. The deadline for applications is July 9.
