The eighth edition of Malaga Work in Progress, the industry-focused section of the Malaga Film Festival, is set to spotlight 16 Spanish and Ibero-American films currently in post-production. Running from March 18-20, this segment is a key platform for emerging talent and established filmmakers alike, aimed at fostering the completion and international promotion of projects from Spain, Portugal and Latin America.

Alongside the Spanish titles, Malaga Wip will also feature four Chilean films presented by FICVIÑA, under the banner of the FICVIÑA Showcase label.

This year’s slate includes eight Spanish productions, with a special focus on two films from the autonomous community of Murcia, which takes center stage in the festival’s Territory section. These films, alongside the international lineup, will be presented to an audience of key industry professionals, such as sales agents, festival programmers and international fund representatives, all of whom will help champion the films’ global reach.

A Wolf At The Door, licensed internationally by Mundial, has taken the Knight Grand Jury Prize at the 31st Miami International Film Festival (16).

In the documentary competition there was a tie for the Knight Grand Jury Prize between Finding Vivian Maier and The Overnighters.

Fading Gigolo and The Mountain prevailed in the Lexus Audience Awards for feature narrative and dovumentary.

“We are humbled by the community’s overwhelming response to this year’s film festival,” said Mdc president Dr Eduardo J. Padrón. “It serves to strengthen the college’s commitment to providing quality cultural arts programming for all to enjoy.”

“We hoped that this year’s Festival would provide memories to treasure and it has absolutely delivered,” said Miff executive director Jaie Laplante. “From the magic of Hollywood glamor on opening night to the many superb films and engaging filmmakers that we enjoyed in the nine days that followed, Miff 2014 has inspired and enraptured.”
