workshops for producers – public pitching session – masterclass with screenings – networking


Deadline for submitting your project: September 5th. 2008

Apordoc and EDN invite you to submit proposals for the 10th edition of Lisbon Docs, a documentary forum that includes a pitching workshop for Portuguese, Western and Eastern European documentary filmmakers and producers who want to take part in an intense creative dialogue.
Lisbon Docs is not only about pitching. It is also a space for participants to meet with internationally known directors and producers and a unique chance for filmmakers to create partnerships and meet co-producers
Lisbon Docs takes place in the framework of doclisboa - Lisbon International Documentary Film Festival that is now entering its 6th year with a selection of the best of the best in international documentary production. The synergy between Lisbon Docs and the festival is evident: during the day it is workshop time, in the evening it is show-time for new films.
If you have a project with international appeal ready to be pitched, Lisbon Docs is the right place for you to go to this autumn.
During a couple of days, in an intense working atmosphere,
around 14 projects are discussed, developed and turned upside down by colleagues and a tutor team of 6 internationally experienced producers and directors with the necessary background and skills to give you inspiration for the development of your film.
At the end of the workshop, projects are pitched at a public session.

A panel of Commissioning Editors from leading channels in international co-productions take part in the Lisbon Docs pitching dialogue between directors, producers and broadcasters. Lisbon Docs also includes screenings of documentaries and master classes on international aspects of documentary making.

What to Submit
