C EU Soon, whose aim is scouting up to six European films in post-production by first and second time directors, opens its first edition this year with a diverse and eclectic selection of projects that we are eager to host inside our MIA Film Market | Cinema Division activities.
Open to sales agents, buyers and festival programmers only, each film presentation will consist in a five minutes live-pitch with directors and producers in attendance, moderated by Wendy Mitchell (Screen International), and featuring a special scene excerpt of each title, exclusively shown at MIA.
We are thrilled to finally announce our final six projects, chosen by a special Selection Committee, formed by Paola Malanga (Rai Cinema Deputy Director – Production & Acquisitions Division), Jason Ishikawa (Cinetic Media, International Sales), and the MIA Cinema Division Team.
