Docedge Kolkata

DocedgeKolkata last week hosted a panel titled “Towards an Equitable Collaboration: Sustainable Co-production” moderated by Rintu Thomas, (Writing With Fire). The discussion saw the participation of Anirban Dutta (Director and Screenwriter), Esther Van Messel (Founder, First Hand Films), Christilla Huillard-Kann (Producer, ELDA Production; ex-Commissioning Editor, ARTE France) and Heejung Oh (Founder/Producer, Seesaw Pictures).

For over two decades, DocedgeKolkata has been the launchpad for some of the most ground-breaking South Asian documentaries. “Stories start travelling the moment you pitch, moving into markets and forging connections. It's a paradigm shift in terms of accessing finance and eventually bringing resources on board,” Docedge’s Nilotpal Majumdar tells BDE during the event’s 22nd roll-out.
