Are
you trying to get funding for your documentary film in development? Do you want
to find distribution for your rough cut? The East European Forum will help you
to get financial support for your documentary project! The Doc Launch Presentation will support your
documentary films in post-production. Would you prefer one-on-one meetings over
public presentations? Apply for the Project Market! Each of our events offers
a unique opportunity to present your documentary project to more than 250
industry guests. In 2012, the East European Forum and the Doc Launch
presentation take place in Prague for the first time, as part of the East Doc
Platform, our new umbrella industry event organized at the One World festival.
Application deadline for East
European Forum, Doc Launch
presentation and Project Market: December 20, 2011 In March 2012 in Prague, the Institute of Documentary Film introduces the inaugural East Doc Platform - an umbrella industry event dedicated to supporting East European documentary films in all stages of completion. Organized by IDF at the One World International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, the event follows up on our industry section which we hosted from 2001 in Jihlava. The East Doc Platform will feature our staple events, such as the East European Forum, Doc Launch presentation, Project Market, East Silver's video library with new spring documentary titles, and a diverse slate of other industry events that provide networking opportunities for East European documentary professionals and commissioning editors, distributors, sales agents, fund and festival representatives from across Europe and North America. EAST EUROPEAN FORUM 2012 The East European Forum is Eastern Europe's largest co-production platform for East European filmmakers and leading international commissioning editors, distributors, buyers, and film fund representatives. Filmmakers and independent producers offer their projects for co-production, pre-sale or other forms of financial support. As of 2011, more than 80 documentary films have been made with the aid of the Forum. Since 2001, the Forum has hosted more than 650 filmmakers and producers from Eastern Europe, and over 200 commissioning editors, buyers and festival programmers. Pitching Workshop: March 5 - 9, 2012 Doc Launch supports East European documentary films in the production and post-production stages and helps them to make a smooth transition to distribution. Each year, Doc Launch presents 8 - 9 outstanding documentary features that are headed to festivals and cinemas in the following months; during the whole year, it caters to a wide range of upcoming documentary films, providing networking opportunities, consultations, and assistance in drafting distribution strategy.
