For the second consecutive year, Malaga will host the Spanish Screenings – Málaga de Cine, one of the great events of the film industry in our country. This twelfth edition will take place on April 17, 18 and 19 within the framework of 21st Malaga Festival and will be organized by the Festival itself and the Malaga City Council, with the sponsorship of the ICAA (Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts); ICEX Spain Export and Investment, Junta de Andalucía and EGEDA (Audiovisual Producers' Rights Management Entity).

This event, for which registration is now open until March 9, is designed as international platform for the promotion of Spanish cinema. Its main objective is to promote international sales of our cinema and it has managed to position itself as an essential event in the calendar of international markets.

During the three-day market, international buyers, sales agents and festival programmers will have the opportunity to view the latest feature films. Likewise, producers and the most prominent representatives of the audiovisual sector will have a business space called Industry Club enabled for negotiation, sales and networking of participating companies.

El apoyo e impulso al nuevo talento audiovisual latinoamericano es el objetivo transversal de esta amplia área industrial, que cuenta con el patrocinio y apoyo de FIPCA (Federación Iberoamericana de Productores Cinematográficos y Audiovisuales).
