For around twenty years, BCBF has been welcoming TV / film producers and professionals from that sector in search of new stories and characters to turn into television, film and animation productions.
The commitment invested in recent years by BCBF and BLTF/Kids in promoting transmedia meetings, thus extending the trade in publishing rights beyond the book market, has led to the creation of the TV/Film Rights Centre, which launched at the 2024 edition.
Created as part of the Bologna Licensing Trade Fair/Kids, the business area aims to encourage the discovery of new IP based on books by proposing matchmaking opportunities between producers and the publishing world, with over 400 meetings hosted at the first edition.
