In today’s rapidly evolving film industry, producing high-quality documentaries comes with a unique set of challenges. With fluctuating market conditions, rising production costs, and diminishing budgets, how can filmmakers ensure that their vision is realized while fulfilling both their creative and social responsibilities?

This conversation aims to explore innovative solutions about how to navigate the financial landscape of non-fiction filmmaking. We’ll dive into pressing issues and potential solutions, shedding light on new ways to fund and support films that drive social change and cultural understanding.

This panel will serve as a platform for exploring the intersection of creative ambition, financial realities, and social responsibility in documentary filmmaking. We hope to spark a lively discussion about how the different stakeholders can collaborate to overcome current challenges and innovate in their approach to financing impactful films.

With this offer, the EFM Industry Sessions aim to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).
