In its commitment to promote and make visible the talent and the growth of the Colombian audiovisual industry, the Bogotá Audiovisual Market - BAM, a cultural program of the Bogota Chamber of Commerce and Proimágenes Colombia, opens the calls for all ideas, projects and talents to participate in its 14th edition, which will take place from July 10 to 14, 2023. The BAM categories seek to strengthen each stage of the production of an audiovisual project, from the conceptualization of the story to its completion and circulation.

BAM is an unmissable event for the country's audiovisual industry, which aims to disseminate Colombian audiovisual content and services. It connects the national and international audiovisual sector to strengthen the local industry, in order to generate business, increase the visibility of its participants and boost the growth of companies.

In its first call stage, which will run until February 6, 2023, the BAM opens 4 categories for the participation of new projects and creators.

The STORIES - SCRIPTS category is intended for national audiovisual writers who wish to transfer their stories from paper to image. The categories FILM PROJECTS - LENGTH IN DEVELOPMENT and SERIES PROJECTS - SERIES IN DEVELOPMENT invite feature films and series projects seeking financing alternatives to continue their production process. The ANIMATION - ANIMATION IN DEVELOPMENT category is aimed exclusively at animated series projects focused on children's audiences from 3 to 14 years of age and feature films for all audiences seeking financing alternatives to continue their production and completion process.

In order to provide the best support to the selected content, the Bogota Audiovisual Market - BAM creates a pre-market strengthening route with a business diagnosis that will reveal the areas in which the production company needs to be strengthened and will provide specific advice focused on these areas. Those selected will then be able to present their projects during business meetings organized by the BAM team, tailored to the needs and opportunities of each content. In 2022, 422 business appointments were organized between selected content and buyers.
