Three curated verticals will be organized in the Doc Film Bazaar – ‘Co-production Market’ (16 projects), ‘Work-in-progress (WIP) Lab’ (6 projects), and ‘Viewing Room’ (106 projects).
Besides these opportunities for selected projects, there will also be an ‘Open Buyer-Seller Meet’ to help filmmakers collaborate with buyers and corporates in the realm of production, syndication, acquisition, distribution, and sales. A dedicated session will explore the symbiotic relationship between documentary filmmaking and corporate branding, with industry leaders from various industry verticals exploring the CSR funding of documentaries as powerful tools for brand enhancement and as catalysts for positive societal impact.
