Already part of the biggest national film-tv industry platform in Spain’s history, Malaga Festival’s massive Spanish Screenings Content are set to build yet further in 2023, homing in on potential growth axes in Spain’s film and TV sectors at large.
Part of the Malaga’s Festival’s Mafiz industry area, the Spanish Screenings Content run March 13-16, a week earlier than this year. First details were presented at a panel at Ventana Sur on Dec. 1, which also served to unveil the 22 titles of the 2023 Malaga Festival Fund & Co-Production Event (Maff), a Málaga industry centrepiece.
In one new Spanish Screenings Content growth play, animation will get its own full program, playing out throughout the screenings, said Teresa Martín, head of Spanish export board Icex’s audiovisual department. “We must take advantage of [Spanish] animation’s dynamism. There’s an opportunity in financing and distribution terms,” she added at the Ventana Sur presentation.
