Sekcja: MIOB

MIOB is a network of seven European film festivals and was founded in 2017. All festivals are industry meeting points and public festivals at the same time, which means that there are exciting Q&As and appropriate (film) workshops after the films. At all film festivals, programs and films are curated that often do not find a place in the regular cinema circuit, despite international success. Since 2020, MIOB has been funded by the Creative Europe - MEDIA program of the European Union.

MIOB aims to promote European cinema in all its diversity. To this end, young filmmakers are networked and supported by screening their works at MIOB festivals. New developments in the European film world are also discussed in order to initiate change. For example, topics such as environmental and climate protection or diversity in the film industry are becoming increasingly important.

Besides the FFC, these are the other MIOB members:

• CROSSING EUROPE Film Festival Linz, Austria
• The Palić Festival, Serbia   
• Les Arcs Film Festival, France   
• Scanorama European Film Forum, Lithuania   
• Trieste Film Festival, Italy
