Screen Australia and a number of state screen agencies will work together to support a delegation of Australian factual and documentary producers to attend Sunny Side of the Doc.
The marketplace is held June 22-15 in La Rochelle, France.
Sunny Side of the Doc hosts 300 commissioners and high-level buyers, 120 distributors and 2,000 professionals from around 60 countries – making it one of the most important international marketplaces for documentaries.
If you’re heading to the market please register your interest with Toni Stowers in Screen Australia’s Documentary Unit. Contact Toni via toni.stowers@screenaustralia.gov.au or on +61 2 8113 5823.
Also contact your local state screen agency directly to find out if travel funding is available.
Self-funded Australian filmmakers are also welcome to travel under the banner of the Australian delegation.
All Australian delegates will have the opportunity to:
• consult with an international documentary expert prior to the market
• attend organised peer-to-peer events
• attend the Sunny Side of the Doc Working With… workshop
• make use of a designated Australian meeting place
• access a reduced registration fee.
Screen Australia will produce a delegates directory, Australia at Sunny Side of the Doc, which will include company and project information. It is a key resource for international delegates that wish to do business with Australian companies.
In addition, we will work with Sunny Side to facilitate targeted business opportunities for Australian producers attending the market.
