Rome’s MIA, a market dedicated to international TV series, feature films, animation and documentaries, wrapped its eighth edition on Saturday on a positive note boasting a 20% rise in attendance compared with 2021, having attracted more than 2,400 registered industry execs from 60 countries, more than half of which from Italy. However, the pandemic was still limiting travel last year, which makes comparisons difficult.
The winner of this year’s Paramount + prize awarded by a jury of experts to the best project at the MIA Drama Pitching Forum is “The Abbess,” billed as a wickedly funny drama about a Machiavellian power-struggle in a closed-order of nuns. The show is being shepherded by the U.K.’s, known for recent Prime Video musical “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” and memorable BAFTA-winning series “This Is England.
This was the first MIA edition headed by new chief Gaia Tridente, formerly head of MIA’s TV section, who has added an animation section to the innovative mart, established as a driver for the Italian industry, and conceived as an international boutique event with a Europe-centric focus eager and able to attract a substantial U.S. presence.
