The aim of pitching Docs to Go<\/strong> is to present and promote the most interesting Polish and Ukrainian documentaries in post-production, which are expected to premiere in the coming months.

Pitching Docs to Start<\/strong> is a presentation of film projects in the development or first shooting phase. Its aim is to attract co-producers and the funding necessary to further the film. Participants presented their projects to producers, representatives of television broadcasters, regional film funds and film production co-financing institutions, as well as selectors from major industry events around the world. Tutors in the Start session were Adriek van Nieuwenhuiyzen<\/strong> (head of Industry at IDFA), Nadja Tennsteadt <\/strong>(head of DOK Industry at DOK Leipzig) and Ove Rishoj Jensen <\/strong>(producer and consultant, head of Co-Production Forum at FIPADOC Industry).

Another industry event as part of the KFF Industry co-organised by the Władysław Ślesicki Film Foundation was the CEDOC Market – Central European Documentary Co-Production Market<\/strong> – the only co-production meeting in Poland for documentary producers looking for both Polish and foreign partners. Meetings were held one-on-one and round tables between producers invited to the market, as well as one-on-one meetings with the international documentary industry: producers, sales agents, TV broadcasters, funds, as well as representatives of leading European training and pitching programmes.

NETWORKING MEETINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
