Rome MIA Market Sets Edward Berger and Jane Tranter for Keynote Sessions

Italy's MIA Market has set its core speaker lineup for its upcoming gathering in Rome, securing top-tier executive talent and filmmakers across international film and television, Deadline reports.

Among the featured participants slated for fireside discussions are Conclave director Edward Berger and veteran television producer Jane Tranter, whose recent executive producing credits include Industry and Succession.

On the corporate side, the Rome market has lined up Banijay Entertainment chief executive Marco Bassetti alongside Canal+ deputy chief executive Anna Marsh. Both executives will take part in keynote discussions addressing the evolving European and global financing landscape.

## Broadening Market Footprint

The market, which serves as a co-production and financing hub for scripted, unscripted, animation and documentary projects, has continued to position itself as a strategic bridge between European talent and global distribution partners.

The inclusion of both prestige creative talent like Berger and major distribution leaders like Marsh reflects the market's push to remain an essential stop on the fall festival and market circuit as buyers adjust their international acquisition strategies.

For studios and independent producers navigating tighter production budgets, regional markets such as MIA offer vital access to European soft money, co-production treaties and platform commissioning executives seeking international scale with contained financial exposure.
