The DMZ International Documentary Film Festival (Festival Director Chang Hae Rang, hereinafter DMZ Docs) aims to promote the values of “Peace, Life, and Communication” through documentaries, and calls entries for the DMZ Docs Pitch project of DMZ Docs Industry starting from May 20 (Mon).
Since 2019, DMZ Docs Industry has managed a documentary market that discovers outstanding documentary projects, train people, supports production costs, and expands opportunities for domestic and global distribution through networking with overseas industry experts.
DMZ Docs Pitch is a program that discovers and introduces Korean and Asian documentary projects with strong appeal in the global documentary market. For documentary filmmakers who are producing meaningful documentaries in challenging environments, the DMZ Docs Pitch provides an invaluable opportunity to receive feedback from experts and secure funding by identifying key demands. The Pitch also offers prize money to the winners and arranges an individual meeting between all participants, broadcasting commissioners, film agents, sales agents, and distributors.
DMZ Docs Pitch has two categories : ‘Production Pitch’ for projects 30% to 70% in production and ‘Rough Cut Pitch’ for projects in rough cut. The projects shall be submitted online to the DMZ Docs Industry website until June 10 (Mon). For details, please refer to the DMZ Docs website (http://industry.dmzdocs.com/).
The 16th DMZ International Documentary Film Festival will feature about 120 domestic and international documentaries, and will be held for 7 days from September 26th to October 2nd at Paju-si and Goyang Special City, Gyeonggi-do.
