ITALY / Call for documentary projects for the Doc/it Women Award

Doc / it, the association of Italian documentary film-makers, has opened the call for nominations for the Doc / it Award Women, a new award to promote the development of documentaries about gender equality.

The organizers hope this award will highlight the work of women documentary film-makers, in line with the Audentia Award for best female director created this year by the Eurimages Fund.

The call for applications is open until July 30^th and is for any documentary project produced by Italian-based companies which meet two of the following three conditions:

• the film’s theme must be related to women

• the film must be the work of one or several female directors

• the film must be produced by one or several women

The winner will be chosen by a jury of five people working in broadcasting or culture and will be chaired by a woman. The winning project will have automatic access to the Italian Doc Screenings pitching sessions (the Italian documentary market organized by Doc / it) in the autumn.
