Cinema & Video International is a global trade magazine covering the film, audiovisual, and creative industries, connecting professionals across markets, trends, and innovation.
A legacy, redefined
Cinema & Video International was founded by Paolo Di Maira in Italy in 1994. Since then, the magazine has been distributed at all major festivals, markets, and industry events in Italy and internationally, including the Venice Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival – Marché du Film, Berlinale – EFM, and other key global gatherings.
Today, that legacy becomes a starting point.
A global platform for the industry
Since March 2026, Cinema & Video International operates with a clear international focus while keeping its Italian DNA. Connecting the dots across film, audiovisual, documentary, animation, and emerging technologies. We bring together companies, associations, institutions, and professionals operating across these sectors globally—creating a space where ideas, projects, and opportunities can move across formats, markets, and territories.
We connect the dots across an industry evolving into a converging ecosystem.
More than news
This is a magazine made by professionals for professionals.
Through our digital platform, we deliver timely news, press releases, interviews and in-depth analysis. Through our print edition, we create a curated publication designed to last—something to keep, revisit, and use as a reference.
At a time when the industry is undergoing rapid transformation, the magazine aims to highlight opportunities, trends, and emerging dynamics shaping the global landscape, offering a space where different segments of the industry can meet, exchange, and collaborate. More than simply reporting, the magazine offers a clear editorial point of view on market developments, strategic shifts, and the evolution of the industry.
Our role is not to follow the industry. It’s to interpret it.
A voice where space is shrinking
Power is concentrating. Space for human-sized companies and mid-budget content is shrinking. Opportunities for independent creators are becoming more limited. We believe this part of the industry needs a voice. Cinema & Video International is that voice: a platform that gives visibility to independent producers, small and medium-sized companies, and high-potential projects—connecting sectors, opening conversations, and offering a clear, informed point of view on the transformations shaping the global audiovisual landscape.
