At the coming-of-age, 18^th edition of the ZagrebDox International Documentary Film Festival, the gathering’s industry programme, ZagrebDox Pro, is focusing on students and young professionals. Under the banner “Confessions”, this year’s event will welcome eight regional projects and will take place from 5-8 April.

Mentored by Finnish producer Sari Volanen and Serbian filmmaker Želimir Žilnik, the young professionals will improve their ideas and strategies at the workshops taking place as part of ZagrebDox Pro Confessions. The aim of the segment is to gather up-and-coming filmmakers in a different, more intimate format so that they can exchange ideas with fellow auteurs, and work on the development and presentation of their projects with renowned professionals both in groups and individually, aiming to create preconditions for their future international collaboration.
