CEDOC CO-PRODUCTION MARKET

APPLY FOR CENTRAL EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY COPRODUCTION MARKET, KRAKOW, MAY 29-31

DEADLINE: March 31^st
EARLY BIRD: March 15^th  

Find partners for your film! Expand your professional network!
Discover and join fresh documentary projects!

The CENTRAL EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY COPRODUCTION MARKET is held every year during the Krakow Film Festival in Poland. Building on its Central European location, CEDOC nurtures a cooperation between East and West, North and South with a special focus on Central European projects and talents. For many projects CEDOC is the  first  platform to enter the international market.  We know how to recognize the potential even in projects at early stages of development and are not afraid to take risks. We discover talents. The event, organized since 2015, is part of the DOC LAB POLAND and KFF INDUSTRY program, which consists of workshops, consultations and pitchings of Polish documentary projects (DOCS TO START and DOCS TO GO).

WHEN:            MAY 29 – 31, 2024
WHERE:          KRAKOW, POLAND
FOR WHOM:   DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCERS
DEADLINE:     MARCH 31^ST

APPLICATION FORM: http://doclab.pl/en_GB/nabor/formularz/

Every year we select ca. 30 projects – creative documentary films in development and early stage of production with a minimum running time of 50 min. – coming from different countries and cultures. We don’t require any financing in place nor confirmed sources of financing. Taking part in CEDOC Market, situated in the historical city of Kraków, affords plenty of valuable opportunities to develop projects and build new professional alliances, especially between producers coming from different countries. Particularly for projects aiming at the international market, the beginning (or development stage) is a difficult and vulnerable moment. At CEDOC Market talented filmmakers present their projects to the international film community, raise awareness, receive feedback and discuss their projects with experts in an intimate, safe and creative atmosphere.

In addition to participating producers, leading representatives of the global documentary industry participate in CEDOC Market as experts. In previous years we had a pleasure to cooperate with:
