MIA DOC, documentary division of MIA International Audiovisual Market (October 16-20, 2019) and GZ DOC, the most prestigious documentary festival of the Democratic Republic of China, chaired by Jun Liu, are proud to announce the beginning of a partnership that involves a direct and proficient collaboration starting already from the next edition in October.
The selection Italians Doc it Better, curated by the MIA DOC team and with Marco Spagnoli as a manager, will become, as a matter of fact, the base for the pre-selection of the Italian titles present in China during the Festival next December, while now a pre-selected documentary from GZ DOC will be previewed at the MIA DOC Pitching Forum.
Also, the project previews the sharing of creative and productive strategies and of the two countries regarding documentaries, a genre that has always been more interesting for the national and international industry for winning contests in the global market. In October, during MIA; the GZDOC delegates will find Italian directors and producers to illustrate the Chinese interest in the documentary production. In December, at Guangzhou, an Italian delegation will also find the local colleagues.
“We are honored to have a partnership with the prestigious Guangzhou Festival. This new agreement confirms the growth of the international interest in Italian audiovisual contents and manifests MIA’s role, specifically MIA DOC, on the prospect of the audiovisual market.”, comments Giancarlo Leone, President of the Audiovisual Producers Association (APA).
