We went to Berlin! Maga Animation at EFM 2024
22 feb 2024Serena Tripepi (Maga Animation Studio's TD, director and also in charge for international relations) just came back from a 4-day visit to the European Film Market (EFM) at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, that was held from February 15 to 21.
Italy was “Country in Focus” this year and the Italian Pavilion, where we were hosted as part of the delegation, has been home of Italian cinema within this event: a physical place and a virtual window to put under the spotlight the Italian film industry and grant an opportunity for networking with producers, distributors, investors and experts. This visit to Berlin was a fantastic chance for our studio, to engage in extensive networking, discover new possibilities for future co-productions, meet new talented artists, stay up-to-date on new technologies and stimulate creativity for our upcoming projects!
