The 9th edition of the Book Adaptation Rights Market (August 30th – September 1st, 2024), organised as part of the Venice Production Bridge, will take place in-person at the Excelsior Hotel on the Lido di Venezia, during the forthcoming 81st Venice International Film Festival (August 28th – September 7th, 2024).
Following
the call which was launched on January the 15th, the Book
Adaptation Rights Market has selected 30 international publishing houses
and literary agencies plus 3 for the VPB Focuses (1 within the FOCUS
ON LUXEMBOURG WALLONIA – BRUSSELS supported by Film Fund Luxembourg and Centre
du Cinéma et de l’Audiovisuel and 2 within the FOCUS ON JAPAN supported by
JETRO).
The Venice
Production Bridge will give them a dedicated area to meet the producers registered to the Venice
International Film Festival through one-to-one meetings. The
meetings will allow to foster lasting relationships and to make deals on the
adaptation of novels, dramas, children’s literature, short stories, comics,
graphic novels, essays, and biographies.
The Book
Adaptation Rights Market will enable the invited publishers to propose their
entire catalogue for film adaptation, rather than focusing on a single
book, as opposed to other events dedicated to publishing within the scope of
film festivals.
A
brochure gathering all the publishers and literary agents and their new titles
as well as their catalogue will be sent to all registered producers beforehand.
The VPB
Focus 2024 will be dedicated to Luxembourg
& Wallonia-Brussels and Japan.

original intellectual properties (IP).

agents for this year’s edition of the Book Adaptation Rights Market will
be available soon on the section “VPB
