There has also been a 12.5 percent increase in the number of countries of origin, from 80 to 90. Of these, around 60 projects will be presented, including animation, documentaries, drama (serial products) and film works.

The Innovation for Creative Industries program also returns, hosting thematic talks and a showcase of immersive works and installations inside MIA XR, a pavilion focusing on the most modern technologies in the audiovisual industry.

MIA has the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, ITA-Italian Trade Agency and the contribution of Creative Europe MEDIA.
