Producers meet producers’ matchmaking social event

A private dinner will be organized among all producers that will join producers meet producers session (i.e., French, Visegrad, Italy and Spain), right after the formal coproduction session and the France Télévisions cocktail (where participants are also invited). In order to provide them with an environment where they can freely network among European peers. Visegrad and other directors whose films are selected for the edition will also be invited. Besides, we will also organize a lunch prior to the session, in the FIPADOC canteen. It will be offered by FIPADOC https://fipadoc.com/en/journees-professionnelles/meet-match-visegrad

Producers meet producers V4-France

During this 2 hours long session, 4 to 6 producers from the V4 countries will meet with 6 producers from France and exchanged about their documentary projects intended for international coproduction. The idea of this session is to foster international coproduction and to expand the selected participants’ professional networks in Europe. After a short presentation from each participant, focusing on their companies identities, each participant will meet with their international counterparts. These 24 to 36 prearranged meetings will be coordinated by our dedicated matchmaker, Zdeněk Blaha (Institute of Documentary Film in Prague / East Doc Forum). Each V4 participant will be granted a free industry accreditations (which also gives full access to the festival selections) and 2 hotel nights each, covered by FIPADOC. https://fipadoc.com/en/journees-professionnelles/meet-match-visegrad
