EFM DocSalon and Archive Market

As for the last two years you will find all documentary activities within the EFM Industry Sessions conference and networking programme as well as an exclusive meeting point for the documentary industry in the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation, just a three-minute walk from Gropius Bau. The selected talk formats will focus on highly topical developments in the documentary landscape. Our tailored and pre-scheduled meeting formats Meet the Festivals and Consult the Experts offer the possibility to meet and consult with our international guests, many of them from the documentary landscape.

Consultations & One-on-Ones

CONSULT THE EXPERTS

Our consultations facilitate discussions between participants with projects at all stages and key-figures of the value chain.

MEET THE FESTIVALS

Forge connections with top programmers from documentary, fiction, series and animation festivals, discuss current projects and gain insights into the programming and editorial focus of the respective festival.

For the seventh time, the EFM shines a light on archives and archival research with an on-site edition of the Archive Market within Café Connect at the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation. Representatives of premier, international footage libraries present their archives and invite EFM participants to discover their collections and discuss specific projects. On Tuesday, the Archive Market will be enhanced by two archive-related panels in Café Connect, as well as an archive panel/case study featured in the conference programme.

ARCHIVE MARKET – CONSULTATIONS

Renowned archive producers offer walk-in consultations on archival expertise. Consultations will take place throughout Tuesday at the Café Connect within the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation.
