Spanish Screenings Content is one of the four areas of focus of Spanish Screenings XXL, together with Spanish Screenings On Tour, Spanish Screenings: Financing & Tech (at the San Sebastian Film Festival) and Spanish Screenings 360, a programme of active year-long actions, which also includes a monthly podcast available in all the platforms, and the future creation of a virtual promotion and business platform.

Spanish Screenings XXL, an international market for Spanish audiovisual production? is a project which involves the Ministry of Culture through ICAA, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones [Spanish Trade Commission], the Malaga Film Festival and the San Sebastian Film Festival, and encompasses a large diversity of content and activities in order to adapt to the new challenges of the audiovisual industry.

The objectives of Malaga Work in Progress are to contribute to:

- Promoting the financing of films by presenting them to prominent professionals of the audiovisual industry
- Favouring their dissemination and promotion
- Supporting the completion of films in the post-production phase
- The feasibility of their international distribution
Malaga Work in Progress consists of two different actions, conceived to respond to the particular needs of the participating films and their creators. Both are designed to boost the completion of fiction feature films in an advanced or rough cut phase that are seeking incentives for the post-production stage and the film's international distribution.

- Malaga WIP Spain, in which six Spanish films will participate.

- Malaga WIP Ibero-America, in which six Ibero-American films will participate.

The audiovisual works must be registered as such with the Institute of Cinematography or bodies with similar characteristics in their country of origin, whether said bodies are trade entities or other entities recognised as such.

Screenings of the selected films will be available for the professionals participating in Mafiz and in the Malaga Film Festival, including sales agents, international distribution companies, festival programmers, international funds and producers.
