East Doc Platform calls for submissions

    We would like to invite all filmmakers and producers to submit their documentary projects in any stage of development to the EAST DOC PLATFORM, the largest meeting place for the international documentary industry in the Central and Eastern European region. For the first time, documentary shorts are welcome, too.

    When: March 3 - 9, 2018
    Where: Prague, Czech Republic
    Deadline for application: November 10, 2017

    More information and the application HERE.

    FEATURE-LENGTH PROJECTS in the development/early production stage are invited to the 16th edition of the East Doc Forum - the oldest and largest central pitch in the region. The pitch is preceded by a 5-day preparatory workshop and followed by 2 days of feedback round tables and one-on-one meetings.

    The East Doc Market offers the opportunity to meet with over 100 international funders, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents and festival representatives to FEATURE-LENGTH PROJECTS in late production and post-production. Over the course of two days, more than 400 pre-booked one-on-one meetings take place.

    Projects with innovative technologies used for an immersive, transmedia or interactive storytelling are invited to find partners at the East Doc Interactive. The roundtable pitch is an integral part of the Forum. The projects receive an immediate feedback on the spot and attend one-on-one meetings over the following days.

    For the first time, SHORTS are invited to the East Doc Platform, thanks to the collaboration with the Tribeca Film Institute’s IF/Then fund & distribution initiative. Up to six projects will be selected for the IF/Then Short Documentary Pitch and take part in the Market meetings. The winner of the pitch receives up to $20,000 in production support from IF/Then and will participate in a year-long distribution initiative managed by the Tribeca Film Institute.

    We are looking forward to receiving your projects!
