Gruppo Alcuni’s CEO Francesco Manfio is co-coordinator of MIA Market’s newly inaugurated Animation Section. This makes MIA the first Italian market to bring together audiovisual categories like Film, Drama, Docs and Animation into a single event.
In its 7th Roman edition October 13-17, MIA is rapidly becoming a vibrant hub of audiovisual excellence where award-winning talents, exceptional content and top industry players converge for premium global networking appointments and opportunities.
Manfio comments: “I’m enthusiastic that we managed to create this trial run Animation section with MIA. MIA is a not-to-be-missed event for scripted and unscripted Film and Drama, and I’m sure the same will be said for Animation already by next year. Meanwhile, let’s enjoy this introductory version which, despite the difficult health restrictions, is eagerly taking off.”
