MAFF Industry Days 2024

The 10th edition of MAFF Industry Days 2024 took place on April 23 - April 26, 2024

Introduction

The year 2025 marks the 11th edition of MAFF Industry Days (MID), a key professional platform dedicated to strengthening cooperation between the Arab world and the Nordic region. Over the years, MID has established itself as an essential meeting point for filmmakers, producers, and industry institutions seeking opportunities for co-production, networking, and cultural exchange.

In the 2025 edition, the MID Development Fund specifically focused its financial support and professional guidance on short film projects. Through pitch sessions and expert evaluations, the platform provided a dedicated space for emerging and established filmmakers to secure support and expand their industry partnerships for their short film productions.

The 2025 edition offered a rich program of panel discussions, workshops, case studies, pitching labs, and networking sessions. A total of 21,535 participants joined the event, with 431 attending physically in Malmö and 21,104 joining via online platforms. The event also saw the participation of 48 accredited production companies and institutions, including 22 from Sweden, 10 from Europe, and 16 from the Arab world.

Celebrating its 11th anniversary, MAFF Industry Days continues to support Arab and Nordic filmmakers, foster creative collaboration, and contribute to the global visibility of cinema from both regions.
