The DOK.forum sees itself as a think tank for the documentary film industry and marketplace for innovative projects. This year again we invite you to develop visions and impulses with a diverse programme of panels, workshops and case studies. Urgent media policy issues are discussed as well as technical trends and new formats. During the recent years, the DOK.forum has established itself as a meeting place for the German-speaking industry.
This year, the DOK.forum will focus on the future of a highly competitive format – the cinema documentary. We bring together decision-makers and filmmakers in Munich to draw up concrete proposals for action.

The 2 events with participation of the AG DOK (sorry, German only) are:

 

· GANZ GROSSES KINO? - Konferenz zur Zukunft des deutschen Kinodokumentarfilms

· BILDET BANDEN! - Für mehr Frauen in der Dokumentarfilmbranche

 

DOK.forum Marketplace Projects 2018

3rd–5th May, 2018 University for Television and Film Munich

The DOK.forum Marketplace invites the most exciting concepts for documentary film, composition, series, webdoc, VR and interactive media to Munich. At moderated roundtables filmmakers discuss their projects in development with commissioning editors, producers and distributors – in the competition for prestigious awards and fundings. The events focuse on the German-speaking co-production area with special offers for international delegations.  

• MARKETPLACE MASTER PITCH  – the only public format of the Marketplace - offers interested guests the opportunity to get an insight into exciting project ideas and the development process of documentary films. Four filmmakers from Latin America are invited as this year's guest delegation.
• COMPOSITION FUNDING PRIZE  Five teams of directors and composers pitch for the German Composition Funding Prize. The aim is to strengthen cooperation between directors and composers.
• ROUNDTABLES In moderated roundtable sessions, 25 teams present and discuss their projects with commissioning editors, producers, distributors, sales agents and funders at eye level.
• SCREENINGS Three rough cuts and two finished films from this year's festival programme are presented to distributors and sales agents.
• PITCH AWARD Nine students of our partner film schools get the special opportunity to present their projects to important decision-makers in a protected environment.

 

PLAYGROUND DOCUMENTARY

Playground Documentary is a brand new format at DOK.forum, carefully developed for our international industry guests. This year's PLAYGROUNDS sheds light on distribution of documentaries in many different ways. In an informal atmosphere, speakers and audience will exchange ideas, talk about their projects and difficulties and concentrate on new possibilities and solutions. It aims at sharing expert's insights and giving space for an active audience to create visions for documentaries. The sessions will be held in English. Admission is free, please register here.
If you have any questions, please email forum@dokfest-muenchen.de

• TELE.VISION  focuses on future formats and visions for TV. Together with Christian von Brockhausen (NDR, DIE BOX) and Nicole Baum (3sat), we explore both innovative and conventional formats on public TV, their target audiences and the way they work – or don't. Together, we can discuss visionary formats with the experts and maybe give an impulse to create a brand new documentary TV format! Speaker: Christian von Brockhausen, NDR DIE BOX, Nicole Baum, 3sat
• INSIDE OUT  What is the essence of your film? How do you make sure it has what it takes to make people want to see it? In an extremely competitive and financially tight industry, success is only possible with a clear and cutting message that emerges from a constructive and productive cooperation between producer and distributor. In this session we will play the title game and compile efficient strategies for each program and its essence to be presented. You are welcome to bring your own (working) title, a key picture or a poster draft, and ideas on how to best make the essence of your film come out. Speaker: Esther van Messel, First Hand Films
• SHIFT CINEMA!  An interactive conversation with applied examples about building social impact concepts, design and strategies for films, with an interdisciplinary and multimedia approach. Meet Marion Guth and Paula Onet from a_BAHN, specialized in impact designing and producing. By signing up for the workshop, you have the chance to submit a project for being selected for a first-impact examination during the workshop. Let's chill and shift cinema's boundaries! Speaker: Paula Onet, a_BAHN, Marion Guth, a_BAHN
