Mifa Pitches

Pitchs Mifa 2025

Mifa Pitches

Each year, the Mifa Pitches aim to showcase the best original animation film projects in development. Organised in 4 categories – Feature Films, Short Films, TV Series & Specials and Immersive Experiences – the Pitches are becoming more elaborate every year. And for Mifa 2025, a new Mifa Pitch session dedicated to animated documentaries has been launched. The Pitch sessions are a privileged time to discover the universes and sensitivities in their own right, which reflect international creativity.
