MIA Outlines 2024 Edition

MIA—Mercato Internazionale Audiovisivo, promoted by ANICA (Italian Association of Film, Audiovisual and Digital Industries), is set to return to Rome from October 14 to 18 for its tenth edition.

The event will be directed for the third year by Gaia Tridente and return to its historic locations of Palazzo Barberini and Cinema Barberini.
