LA VILLAGE
MAFIZ (Málaga Festival Industry Zone), the industry area of the Festival de Málaga, was created with the aim of boosting the dissemination and promotion of Ibero-American filmmaking on an international level. This space has become a key platform for industry professionals from Latin America and Europe to develop new business and collaboration networks.
As part of MAFIZ, the Festival de Málaga organises a series of events designed to facilitate connections between filmmakers, producers and other industry professionals. One of the highlights is La Village, an exhibition space located at the MAFIZ headquarters in the city of Malaga.
The Village, in this past 2024 edition, brought together 13 Latin American countries, becoming a meeting point for Ibero-American Film Institutes and Film Commissions in Spain, providing the opportunity for participants, guests and collaborators of the various MAFIZ events to meet and establish links.
In addition, 17 titles were screened as part of Mafiz Specials, further enriching the festival's offer and the visibility of Ibero-American filmmaking. This environment allows MAFIZ to consolidate itself as a reference for Spanish-language cinema, promoting the creation of bridges and the strengthening of relations within the audiovisual industry between the two continents.
