The extensive showcase of recent productions to be presented by Spanish Screenings On Tour at the MIA | Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo will be rounded off with participation of the attending professionals in activities such as round tables and conferences, and the organisation of a series of networking meetings between the Spanish and international audiovisual industries. The programme of activities will be announced shortly.   

MIA | Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo, is a market event based in Roma (Italy) at its ninth edition in 2023 from October 9th to 13th, directed by Gaia Tridente and organised by ANICA (Italian Association of Film, Audiovisual and Digital Industries) and APA (Audiovisual Producers Association), with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and ITA-Italian Trade Agency, with the contribution of Creative Europe-MEDIA. MIA is also supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the  Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the Lazio Region and is held under the Patronage of Eurimages. With a focus on European and international Animation, Doc & Factual, Drama and Film scenes, MIA offers a wide range of programs, featuring Co-Production Market and Pitching Forums, Content Showcases, Works in Progress, Market Screenings, Networking Activities and an impressive line-up of Conferences, tackling the hottest topics among industry insiders. MIA has gained interest from international professionals: decision-makers, distributors, networks and platforms discuss at MIA the opportunities and challenges of audiovisual production and distribution in today's international content paradigm.

Spanish Screenings on Tour is one of the four axes making up Spanish Screenings XXL alongside Spanish Screenings Content (Malaga Festival), Spanish Screenings: Financing & Tech (San Sebastian Festival) and Spanish Screenings 360, a programme of actions running throughout the year wich also includes the creation of a virtual promotion and business platform PLATFO; and the podcast 'Spanish Screenings 360. The Podcast', available on the main audio platforms, and in video subtitled in English on Youtube and Spotify.

In short, the initiative consists of the creation of an audiovisual market for Spanish-produced content that favours the exchange and creation of new projects in a context of interaction and business that contributes to strengthening the value chain of the Spanish audiovisual industry.

Spanish Screenings XXL, an international market for Spanish audiovisual productions is part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), which has the goal to strengthen Spain’s role as a European Audiovisual Hub. Thus, together with the Ministry of Culture and Sport through the ICAA and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation through ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones, Festival de Málaga and Festival de San Sebastián.

This programme to increase the international reach of Spanish audiovisuals recieved a new boost in 2022, with a wider diversity of contents and volume of activities for adapting to the new challenges of the audiovisual industry.
