Since 2017, Festival de Málaga has been organising a co-production meeting with Latin America featuring a country from this region is guest and protagonist. This space seeks to foster collaboration between Latin American producers and distributors and investors from Spain and Europe, thus promoting the co-production of Latin American projects aimed at the international market.
Festival de Málaga celebrates having a Latin American country as guest and protagonist, with the desire to jointly promote and disseminate surprising films of high productive quality.
The Dominican Republic was the featured country at the Latin American 2025 edition. New Dominican film and the emerging talent that drives its success were highlighted at the event, which was attended by 48 people guests. Two projects also participated in MAFF (Málaga Festival Fund & Co-Production Event), 2 in Málaga WIP (Work in Progress), 2 in Warmi Lab, 1 talent in Málaga Talent and 1 talent in Hack. Three films were also screened in the Focus Dominican Republic space and three films in Mafiz Specials. The Dominican Republic was therefore present at almost all Mafiz events.
This year, Festival de Málaga reinforced its commitment to promoting high quality Latin American filmmaking and strengthening collaboration between the two regions.
The guest country at the 2026 edition will be Panama.
