Are you looking for funding for your project? Present it at the MIRADASDOC Professional Forum!

 

Our Pitching programme is organised into 3 phases:

 

PITCH WORKSHOP

 

DOCSUR lab pitching workshop with expert-consultant Stephanie von Lukowicz

 

PITCH SESSION (PUBLIC PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT)

 

The director and/or producer of each selected project will make a brief 7 minute presentation to the panel of Commissioning Editors, distributors, festivals, and public and private film institutions. We recommend showing a demo or trailer of the project during the presentation three minutes long, maximum.

 

Afterwards, the international professional guests will give their feedback of the presentation and will actively participate in the debate. This will be supervised by the moderator-facilitator, sharing information with the selected documentary filmmakers about their interest as regards programming their channels.

 

ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS

The second phase is an opportunity for each project to be presented and discussed on an individual basis with the different members of the panel of distributors, Commissioning Editors and directors of the festivals in meetings lasting approximately 10 minutes.

 

These sessions seek the following objectives:

  • To finance documentary projects through co-production or pre-purchasing agreements with the representatives of the channels or distributing companies.
  • To enrich and develop the proposals through personal, face-to-face meetings with the Commissioning Editors and Festivals.

 

During these sessions, MiradasDoc Market provides a simultaneous interpreting service.

TESTIMONIALS

  • MiradasDocs Market was a great opportunity to meet some really exciting filmmakers and hear about upcoming projects from around the world. The pitching session was extremely well run. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality, everything was so well organised and I really enjoyed my time there. Such a treat to be in Tenerife for the first time! I hope that Dogwoof have the opportunity to be involved in the market again in future years.

  • Thanks a lot for the very friendly and nice market. It was indeed very productive for us. It was the first platform where the project was presented, analyzed by tutors and pitched and we got a lot of very useful feedback. Marijke Rawe was amazing and she did help us a lot in the pitch workshop.

  • “The producers and director of The only flower would like to thank the whole team of MiradasDoc Market for these fantastic days we had in Tenerife, in which we had time to learn, share, comment and learn some very interesting people. The treatment we received was exquisite, at a human level and at a professional level, and we urge everyone with a documentary film project to present it here and experience the Market of MiradasDoc. We will probably meet, because... we are definitely coming back. Thanks for everything and see you soon!”
