Submission of VISEGRAD films and projects

As stated above, we pay very close attention to the presence and visibility of VISEGRAD films and projects at FIPADOC. This is directly related to our 2021 Focus, which was organized during the pandemic, online. Therefore, VISEGRAD participants couldn’t benefit from the “real” FIPADOC experience. Ever since, we have maintained a meaningful part of our activities directly dedicated to VISEGRAD. To achieve this high level of representation through films and projects, we want to make both our calls for films and projects more accessible for VISEGRAD filmmakers, by offering a free waiver to submit. We kindly ask the VISEGRAD fund to help us cover the costs of such an action. As for comparison, here are the 2024 figures of submissions from VISEGRAD: In 2024, 112 films and VR experiences submissions from VISEGRAD filmmakers In 2024, 10 projects submissions from VISEGRAD filmmakers (thanks to the 50% waiver we send to the professionals who request it) https://fipadoc.com/en
