DOK Co-Pro Market
While the past year has brought a major disruption to our industry’s ways to meet and connect, we are looking confidently into the future and are positive to be able to meet in person soon again. The DOK Co-Pro Market 2021 is planned as a hybrid event with individual meetings and networking opportunities taking place in Leipzig as well as online.
35 projects in development or early stages of production will get together on 25 & 26 October 2021 to meet with potential co-producers, co-financiers, broadcasters, funds, distributors and sales representatives in over 850 individual meetings. The goal is to expand networks, create fruitful opportunities to finance new creative documentaries and face together the radical challenges that have presented themselves this past year.
We are happy to launch the call for projects for the 17th edition of our DOK Co-Pro Market!
This is what we are looking for at a glance:
- ambitious, creative documentary projects from all over the world
- projects in development or early stages of production
- feature-length documentaries suitable for theatrical release, however one-offs and series are also welcome to apply
- documentaries with an international audience in mind
The deadline for submissions is 2 August 2021.
Please find more information on the event and how to submit in the Submission Guidelines.
