About

The DOK Co-Pro Market features 35 international documentary and animated documentary projects in development and matches project holders with new partners for co-production, financing and distribution. The DOK Co-Pro Market expands networks, creates fruitful opportunities for new creative documentaries to enable the subsequent stages of production through discovering possible partnerships.

Over two days, DOK Industry organizes 850+ curated one-on-one meetings and plenty of informal networking opportunities in a friendly and welcoming setting. 

Partner delegations are invited to participate in the Co-Pro Market Open Programme that takes place alongside the main market activities. The programme comprises informal networking events and discussions led by international experts who share their practical knowledge on the international market and co-production.

We will be accepting project submissions for the 2024 Co-Pro Market edition starting from 15 May. Further details coming soon.
