Since 2017, the Festival de Málaga has been organising a co-production meeting with Latin America in which a Latin American country is the 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 achieve in collaboration, the promotion and dissemination of surprising and high-quality cinematographies.
At Latin American 2024, Paraguay was the country in the spotlight. During the meeting, the new Paraguayan cinematography and the emerging talent that drives its success were highlighted. In total, the event was attended by 55 people, including 19 delegates from 9 Paraguayan film institutions. In addition, 2 projects participated in the MAFF (Málaga Festival Fund & Co-Production Event), 2 projects in the Málaga WIP (Work in Progress), and 1 talent in Málaga Talent. Three films were also screened in the Focus Paraguay space and two films in Mafiz Specials.
The Festival de Málaga's commitment to promoting high-quality Latin American filmmaking and strengthening collaboration between the two regions was underlined at this year's edition.
During the next edition in 2025, the guest country will be the Dominican Republic.
