Al Jazeera Documentary and AJB DOC Film Festival are extending until July 15 the deadline for the submission of projects for Al Jazeera Documentary Industry Days @ AJB DOC that will take place in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina 9-13 September 2022.
The event “intends to support the expansion of documentaries worldwide, including international co-productions, and introduce exciting and valuable projects to key decision-makers,” write organisers.
It will provide documentary filmmakers from the SEE, Caucasus, and MENA region with an opportunity to network with decision-makers and leading professionals from both regional and international film and TV industries. “We aspire to help them secure funding for documentary production and support for their broadcast, distribution, screening, and sales worldwide,” organisers further underline.
The three-day event will be divided into:
- MAIN PITCH – ACCEPTING ALL STAGES OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
- WORK IN PROGRESS – PROJECTS THAT ARE IN POST-PRODUCTION
- BALKAN STAR – THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE
Key submission date: July 15 (extended deadline)
AJD Industry Days @ AJB DOC plans to organize three-day meetings with authors of various projects. After initial presentations, the event will culminate in one-to-one meetings.
The overall prize money in cash for the awards across all sections will amount to more than USD60,000, and other non-cash and sponsor awards will be announced prior to the AJB DOC Festival.
