Lisbon Docs – International Financing and Co-Production Forum for Documentary Film is one of the main documentary film workshops and pitching events in Portugal. In its 20 th edition, it remains as a benchmark for professionals interested in developing new tools and strategies to finance and co-produce their documentary film projects. The first three days of Lisbon Docs are dedicated to working sessions with tutors, developing individual strategies to present the film project to potential financiers and co-producers.
