Book adaptation rights market

The 10th edition of the Book Adaptation Rights Market (August 29th – August 31st, 2025), organised as part of the Venice Production Bridge, takes place at the Excelsior Hotel on the Lido di Venezia.

The Book Adaptation Rights Market has selected 30 international publishing houses and literary agencies plus 4 for the VPB Focuses (2 within the Focus on the United Kingdom supported by British Film Institute, 1 within the Focus on Chile supported by Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio, Gobierno de Chile and 1 within the Focus on Morocco supported by Centre Cinématographique Marocain), and provides them with a dedicated area to meet the professionals registered to the Venice Production Bridge through one-to-one meetings.

The meetings allow to foster lasting relationships and to make deals on the adaptation of novels, dramas, children’s literature, short stories, comics, graphic novels, essays, and biographies. The Book Adaptation Rights Market enables the invited publishers to propose their entire catalogue for film adaptation, rather than focusing on a single book, as opposed to other events dedicated to publishing within the scope of film festivals.
