The International Factual Forum is a premier event dedicated to celebrating and advancing talent and original international factual formats.
This forum is designed for international producers who own 100% of the rights to their formats and wish to present them during a public session at MIA, attended by fellow producers, broadcasters, and streaming platforms. The goal is to foster opportunities for acquisition, co-production, or commissioning.
The International Factual Forum provides television and digital content producers with a valuable platform to pitch and promote their factual formats and program ideas to an audience of potential buyers, executive producers, broadcasters, streaming services, and other key players in the entertainment industry participating in MIA 2025.
The registered formats must fall into one of the following categories:
Brand-Driven Format: This category is aimed at formats that owe their existence to a brand or an advertiser who played a crucial role in creating the format.
Factual Entertainment Format: It concerns formats shot outdoors where there is no competition but an exploration of a slice of life, to delve into certain aspects of it or to entertain.
Multi-platform Format: These are formats that involve other means of communication in the storytelling.
Reality Format: In this category, there are no elements of competition. The formats in this category can be shot in a documentary style, following a main character in what we perceive as “real life.”
The deadline is August 10, 2025.
Before submitting your format, read the Official Rules & Participation Guidelines 2025.
