The Málaga Film Festival celebrates the eighth edition of Málaga Work in Progress, highlighting its commitment to the diversity of identities and languages within the Ibero-American region and its audiovisual industry. Its goal is to continue supporting the development of projects by creators from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
Málaga Work in Progress consists of two distinct initiatives, tailored to meet the specific needs of the participating films and their creators. Both are designed to support the completion of fiction and documentary feature films in advanced editing or first cut stages, seeking incentives for the post-production process and international distribution.
Málaga WIP España, featuring six titles of Spanish nationality.
Málaga WIP Iberoamérica, featuring six titles from Ibero-America (Latin America and Portugal).
Audiovisual works must be registered with the Film Institute or equivalent organizations in their country of origin, whether these are industry guilds or other officially recognized entities.

Málaga - WIP
For the Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival – FICCI, the new talents of the film industry are a central focus of interest.
From this perspective, FICCI 64, with the support of Ibermedia, opens the call for La Residencia FICCI as a program of screenwriting aimed at directors and/or screenwriters from Ibero-America and Italy who have verified experience in short films and are developing their first or second feature-length fiction film.
The objective of La Residencia FICCI is to support participants in the initial phase of writing their feature-length screenplays in order to consolidate their artistic and conceptual proposals. In order to nourish the development stage of the projects, participants will also receive complementary inputs during LA RESIDENCIA FICCI on topics such as audience analysis, financing, marketing possibilities, distribution and circulation of the films, as well as other related topics.
FICCI invites the participation of emerging talents who are immersed in the deep exploration of cinema as an art, whose interest consists in reaching art to its contours, imagining new (or antique) ways and routes of relating to the world. Therefore, FICCI is interested in the multiplicity of ways of understanding and imagining filmmaking.

The Locarno Residency aims to offer support and guidance in what is an important key rite of passage for many filmmakers, their first feature. The Locarno Film Festival has always stood out as a place of discovery for new talents, and in line with its mission intends to offer young filmmakers an opportunity to receive assistance in developing a full-length feature, in the shape of online sessions and in-person group discussions.

Locarno Residency
Ibermedia promotes the distribution and circulation of non-national films from Ibero-American cinemas within the national territories of distribution companies. This is achieved through proposals that implement traditional, non-traditional, or hybrid distribution and exhibition models, incorporating innovative and creative forms of in-person distribution and/or exhibition. These proposals must also include a promotion and audience plan, aiming to bring Ibero-American cinema closer to regional audiences.
