DOC AROUND EUROPE LAUNCHES VOD PLATFORM

A NEW SHOWCASE FOR EMERGING DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKERS

More than ever, we need documentaries to remind us about the joy of discovery, the celebration of debate, and the importance of tolerance. Convinced that documentary films can be a powerful tool for social progress, the Doc Around Europe network is proud to announce the creation of its very first VOD platform, doc-around-europe.net.

Doc Around Europe is dedicated to supporting and promoting European documentaries by emerging filmmakers, and to help them connect to audiences and to the international market alike. Over the past four years, the network has successfully facilitated film circulation across Europe, and has organized a range of events during member festivals. This VOD platform represents a strategic and innovative way of improving visibility for European films.

Bringing together the joint forces of network members (DocsBarcelona, DOK.fest München, MakeDox, FIPADOC, and VERZIÓ), the platform aims to showcase films made by younger talents. It will also target European and international festival programmers, buyers and distributors, with the goal of providing more opportunities to the films and their creators.

The platform will offer an annual catalog of up to 40 new documentary films curated by the network members from their festival selections. The films will be available for one to two years, ensuring a constant renewal and a steady offering of European documentary talent.

Join us to connect with representatives from all five festivals in our network and to celebrate the launch of our new VOD platform with a drink on us!

Please be advised that attendance is limited, and entry will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you.
