MAFIZ (Málaga Festival Industry Zone), the Festival de Málaga industry area, was created to boost the dissemination and promotion of Ibero-American filmmaking at international level. This space has established itself as a key platform for audiovisual professionals from Latin America and Europe to develop new business and collaboration networks.
As part of MAFIZ, Festival de Málaga organises a series of events aimed at facilitating connections between filmmakers, producers and other industry agents. One of the highlights is La Village, an exhibition area located in MAFIZ's main venue, which hosts numerous Latin American countries each year. It thus becomes a meeting and networking point for Ibero-American Film Institutes, Film Commissions from Spain, as well as for sales agents and representative institutions of the sector.
La Village thus functions as the Industry Club of the event, offering participants, guests and partners of the various MAFIZ initiatives the opportunity to meet, connect and establish key professional links for sector growth.
