DocsBarcelona, a documentary film festival, will take place from May 25th to 31st 2015.
This 18th edition will consist of several sections.
An “Official Section” offering some of the most important and interesting recent documentaries produced world-wide.
A “Special Session” – out of competition.
“DOC-U” dedicated to documentary production in the various Catalan universities and a shop-window for their film students.
And finally “Docs & Teens” for the young adult audience. A new way to travel and discover realities near and far.
During the festival there will be meetings with people working in broadcasting.
For the festival is also a market-place to find backing and promote films in the documentary industry, allowing producers, directors and writers to present their projects to international financiers. This year there will be two pitching sessions (Interactive Pitch and Latin Pitch) and a Speed Meeting.
Forty projects will be selected for the Speed Meetings: selected participants will have a personal, 15-minute opportunity to present and sell their project to backers. For the Interactive Pitch, four interactive documentaries will be selected, and four Latin American documentaries for the Latin Pitch. They will be presented to a selection of finance people interested in these specific types of projects and to accredited DocsBarcelona professionals.
Each project can participate in both the Speed Meetings and the Latin Pitch, though it can only be selected for one.
The deadline to receive the projects is March 11th 2015. More information and for registration click here.
