One of the most significant strands at Rome’s MIA market is its Co-Production Market and Pitching Forum, which has fast become one of the leading co-production forums in the industry calendar.
This year more than 500 projects were submitted for the industry section for animation, documentary, drama and film from 80 countries. This was a 30% uptick of countries compared to 2022 and of these, 62 were selected (15 animation, 18 doc and factual, 14 drama and 15 film) from 36 countries.
“We build everything around content,” says MIA director Gaia Tridente. “We have built a program that really fits the needs of the industry and the co-production market is the perfect place for people to come and discover good partners for international co-productions.”
While the forum has a global reach, European projects remain at the heart of this year’s event with projects such as Leitzia Battaglia: Her Name is Battle, a documentary about the late photographer that famously photographed the Sicilian underworld mafia; animation Ro, a stop-motion feature directed by Magdalena Osińska, who most recently directed Lucasfilm’s second instalment of Star Wars: Visions series; Anca Damian’s Motherhood, a poetic journey into the female body and desire; 2D animation The Storm from Angela Conigliaro; and Egyptian TV project The Prey.
