Projects may be submitted until Friday 27 November 2026 at 23:59 Mexico City time (GMT–6).

Up to seven fiction feature films in the post-production stage and looking for financing for their completion will be presented to professionals accredited to the industry area of the Festival: producers, distributors, sales agents, service companies, funding bodies and festival representatives with the possibility of contributing to the completion of the films and their subsequent exhibition.

Guadalajara Construye 21 Works in Progress is part of the programme of activities of the 42nd edition of FICG, which will take place from 6 to 13 March 2027.

Selected feature films will obtain:

• The possibility of a screening within the framework of the FICG42 industry activities.
• The publication of the project information in the Industry Catalogue.
• The possibility of three nights' accommodation (one double room per project).
• Free Industry accreditation for two representatives of the participating feature film.

Participation in Guadalajara Construye 21 is free of charge. Travel expenses to Guadalajara and catering costs shall be borne by the production companies and/or representatives of the participating films.

Among the projects selected for previous editions of Guadalajara Construye, we can mention, for example, Aquí hay dragones (Here Be Dragons), a film written and directed by the Mexican filmmaker Iria Gómez Concheiro, which participated in the 19th edition in 2025 and, a few years earlier, received Ibermedia funding for the stimulation of Ibero-American film co-production in our 2021 call for entries.
