Having announced their program a month ago, they today (March 3) have issued a list of 10 titles for their producers’ program on April 8. And as it happens, today’s announcement lands midweek in the industry-facing digital presentation of Germany’s Berlinale.

Should a physical edition of the Rolling Pages program be possible, it’s expected to be held, as before, at Madrid’s Casa del Lector, the unique multi-use complex focused on reading and writing at the Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez directed by Luis González.
