Warsaw hosts co-production workshop
As part of the Planet Doc Review Festival, a documentary co-production workshop will be held for the first time in Warsaw from May 9-10, 2009.
Among the organisers of this professional gathering are the Dragon Forum, Warsaw’s Goethe Institute, Planet Doc Review and Germany’s AG DOK and German Films.
Aimed at Polish and German producers, distributors and directors, the workshop is open to projects in all stages, from development, financing and production. The event’s programme will centre in particular on issues related to the financing and distribution of documentaries, extending networks of contacts and the promotion of Polish/German co-productions.
The workshop, held in English, will focus on practical matters. Participants will analyse specific examples of co-productions and invited professionals (producers and film industry representatives) will compare their different experiences. Moreover, the event will facilitate meetings with potential co-producers, financial partners and distributors.
Registration is open until April 20, through the Dragon Forum website or the email addresses dragon@arkanastudio.pl (for Polish participants) and agdok@agdokumentarfilm.de (for German applicants).
The costs of the workshop and one night’s accommodation (May 9-10) will be met by the organisers, whereas participants will pay their own travel expenses. The list of selected professionals will be announced on April 24.
