Book Adaptation Rights Market (September 4 - 6)

The Book Adaptation Rights Market brings together 30 selected international publishing houses and literary agencies, within a dedicated area of the Venice Production Bridge. Over three days of scheduled one-to-one meetings, publishers and agents connect with international producers, creating valuable opportunities to build long-term partnerships and explore adaptation opportunities for a wide range of works, including novels, thrillers, crime fiction, short stories, comics, graphic novels, essays, biographies, and children's literature.

Through these individual meetings, participating publishers showcase their full catalogues to producers, presenting both established and emerging titles while discussing the adaptation rights of their works for film, television, and other audiovisual formats.

Fully accredited Industry Gold and Trade pass holders can now request one-to-one meetings through the VPB platform

CARBON NEUTRALITY

La Biennale di Venezia aims to carbon neutrality. This involves reducing and offsetting the emissions of carbon dioxide through targeted actions that require the involvement and attention of all Festival participants.
