First Look, Locarno Pro’s works-in-progress program, will spotlight Uruguay at the 79th Locarno Film Festival running from August 5 to 15, 2026. The initiative serves as a key forum for international arthouse filmmakers to present projects in late-stage development, offering producers valuable exposure and networking opportunities. By focusing on Uruguay, the program highlights emerging cinematic talent from the region and supports the global visibility of Latin American film projects.
The event continues to strengthen its role as a leading platform for post-production showcases, connecting creators with industry professionals. Selected projects benefit from direct feedback and potential collaboration prospects during the festival. This focus on Uruguay underscores the program’s commitment to diversifying voices in world cinema and fostering international co-production interest.
