Festival Scope
Book Adaptation Rights Market for 2020 has been edited using the information assembled by July 24th, 2020.
The Venice Production Bridge may not be held responsible for possible errors.Even if the covid-19 pandemic encourage a lot of people to read, paradoxically the publishing sector has been deeply stricken by, among other things, the inability to promote and sell the spring and summer new books in bookshops. The Venice Production Bridge has always felt concerned by the role of publishers in the cinema and audiovisual industry through the Book Adaptation Rights Market which will take place both in-person and on-site and online for the ones who can’t come to the 77th Venice International Film Festival. We are thus welcoming for the first time, the publishers and literary agents: Agenzia Malatesta (Italy), Mondadori Libri (Italy), Northern Stories (Norway), Sperling - Frasinelle - Piemme (Italy), Suhrkamp Verlag (Germany) who will join our faithful publishers and agents: DeA Planeta Libri (Italy), Éditions de l’Homme Sans Nom (France), Editorial Planeta (Spain), Elisabeth Ruge Agentur GmbH (Germany), Feltrinelli Editore (Italy), Giulio Einaudi Editore (Italy), Gruppo Editoriale Mauri Spagnol (Italy), Lannoo Publishers (Belgium), Michael Gaeb Literary Agency (Germany), Nottetempo (Italy), Rizzoli (Italy), Singel Uitgeverijen (The Netherlands). Among their most famous titles the following have already been adapted to the big screen: The Divergent saga, Ready Player One and Red Sparrow (DeA Planeta Libri, Italy), Patria and Palmeras en la nieve (Editorial Planeta, Spain), The Shape of Water, Harry Potter and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (Gruppo Editoriale Mauri Spagnol, Italy), The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen (Lannoo Publishers, Belgium), The Orphanage and Narziss Und Goldmund (Suhrkamp Verlag), The Book Thief and The Girl on the train (Sperling & Kupfer - Frasinelli - Piemme), Romanzo Criminale and Siberian Education (Giulio Einaudi Editore). You will also have the pleasure to meet the publishers of Boris Pasternak, Doris Lessing and Roberto Saviano (Feltrinelli Editore, Italy), Paolo Cognetti, Marco Missiroli (Agenzia Malatesta, Italy), Michel Houellebecq, Daniel Kehlmann, Patrick Modiano (Singel Uitgeverijen, The Netherlands), Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, Michael Haneke, Svetlana Alexievich (Elisabeth Ruge Argentur Gmbh, Germany) and many other publishers from Belgium, Norway, France... This year, the publishers will be pitching their new titles as well as to present their complete catalogues, as opposed to other events dedicated to publishing within the context of Film Festivals that focus on a single book or volume. Producers will be offered a worldwide tour of publishing companies coming from all over the world. The uniqueness of this 3-day event consists not only in the organization of 1-to-1 meetings between the publishers and the producers, but also in enabling them to develop their network in a productive and welcoming setting. With the Book Adaptation Rights Market, the Venice Production Bridge renews its vocation to foster the development and production of international and European projects across a wide range of audiovisual forms. We warmly welcome you to this 5th edition and hope that it will bring many beneficial encounters. Pascal Diot Head of the Venice Production Bridge
