This call is developed from the project Festival de Málaga Fund & Co Production Event, hereinafter MAFF, within MAFIZ (Festival de Málaga Industry Zone) which will take place from 17 to 21 March 2025 during the celebration of the 28th edition of the Festival de Málaga.
MAFF invites you to collaborate in the development of innovative Ibero-American filmmaking, with content that raises awareness in society, that makes people reflect on the change that is sought in the world and thus generate inclusive and collaborative societies, through the MAFF Social and MAFF Women Screen Industry sections, with which we will be able to redefine culture.
The registration period for projects will be open from the 18 of September to the 11th of November 2024.
The presentation of the selected projects will be made at Ventana Sur 2024.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
MAFF is a space that encourages the artistic, financial and innovative growth and visibility of projects, generating a network of contacts, increasing the possibilities of financing and promoting a space for effective communication that facilitates dialogue between production companies, producers and professionals in the global audiovisual industry.
To this end, we will provide training, mentoring and business networking activities, all of which will contribute to business agreements that will enable the future financing of our selected projects.
MAFF brings together in an unprecedented way the main international co-production financing funds that exist on an international level in a single place, the city of Malaga.
STRATEGIC VISION
We want to showcase the new talent of filmmakers and directors, as well as Ibero-American audiovisual producers, in direct connection with the network of financing and professional support that we offer at MAFF, as a gateway to the internationalisation of new Ibero-American productions of interest to audiences and the global audiovisual market, with the aim of developing innovative audiovisual content that is viable, attractive in its subject and feasible in its production.
Malaga will be the platform that contributes to the development of the audiovisual industry with new quality film projects of international relevance.
MAFF GOALS
● To select, guide and provide creative, economic and financial advice to generate viable, quality audiovisual projects that facilitate their insertion in the global market and thus contribute to the internationalisation of the projects.
● To provide personalised training and coaching to producers, directors and directors, according to the needs of the teams that make up the selected projects, with the aim of acquiring tools that will be used in the face-to-face business meetings in the city of Malaga.
● To promote innovation in business and production models for new feature films with international co-production potential, for subsequent distribution and commercialisation in different markets and through different modalities.
● To be the communication and networking platform of reference, where industry professionals can meet and get to know the projects that are being developed at an early stage.
● To generate spaces for reflection, debate and discussion on the issues that are developed in the global audiovisual ecosystem and that affect the projects that are part of the MAFF catalogue.
● Insert new players in the Ibero-American audiovisual industry and create new content in dialogue with audiences: new and diverse audiences that are part of our ever-growing audiovisual activity.
