MAFF Market Forum 2020
The 6th edition of MAFF Market Forum took place on October 9-11, 2020 at Scandic triangeln in MalmöThe 6th MAFF Industry Days was held under the corona pandemic, which unfortunately forced all events that attract big crowds to alter the strategy they adopted for years. The edition was a hybrid one, where we had events on-site with a limited number of guests and attendees, in addition, we live-streamed the forums’ events on the festival’s official social media platforms and on Zoom as well.
MAFF Development Fund
The primary requirement for the applications to MAFF Development Fund was that the projects needed to have a Swedish co-producer (for feature and documentary projects), Nordic origin or resident co-producer (for short projects), and the project theme had a connection to the Arab identity, culture or exile.
