Registrations are now open for the 9th MIA Market 2023 (Rome, October 9-13).
“A hotbed of discussion, debate, and confrontation among the most important international executives, MIA is a destination for the global film and audiovisual ecosystem, conceived as a curated market, a physical and digital space for feature-length films (fiction, animation and documentary), as well for series (drama, documentary, factual and animation),” write organisers.
They add that “MIA is the most important industry event in Italy and is one of the must-attend international events focused on co-production, financing strategies and models, sales and distribution of works, and content showcase, and is an effective platform for talents and project circulation.”
MIA was created in 2015 and is organized by ANICA and APA who “bring their respective skills to produce the largest audiovisual market event in Italy, which has now fully entered the international agenda of appointments dedicated to professionals in the sector.”
The call for Documentary projects is now closed.
“We believe that if you come to Italy, you should find something that you usually don’t get to find in the other markets,” Marco Spagnoli, Deputy Director and Head of Doc & Factual at MIA, told Business Doc Europe during MIA 2022. “And Italians are doing very good things in documentaries. There are many opportunities to produce, to make documentaries here. Something is happening.”
He further emphasised the friendly appeal of his Rome-based event. “We try to tear down separations. It’s very well organized, but there is less structure. I don’t like barriers. Of course people meet the people they want to meet, but still you have many chances [to meet other professionals] in order to get ideas, to get to know other people. It’s more, let’s say, a social event. It more favours, let’s say, business in a relaxed way. An Italian approach.”
