In collaboration with Alice nella città, the MIA presents a new edition of UNBOX PITCHING SESSION, now officially part of the market programme. Under the claim The Talents of the Future, the programme curated by Francesco Giai Via will feature a pitching session structured in three sections:
UNBOX, dedicated to a selection of feature film projects by emerging filmmakers on the verge of their first feature; UNBOX Academy, one feature film project from a David di Donatello-nominated director, done in collaboration with the Accademia del Cinema Italiano – Premi David di Donatello; UNBOX UPFOLLOW, devoted to projects previously awarded at UNBOX that have since secured a producer, and present an update on their development status.
