The Doc Film Bazaar, scheduled from June 16 to 18, 2024, in Mumbai, aims to provide a comprehensive platform promoting documentary, short film, and animation content. It offers opportunities for filmmakers in production, distribution, and filmmaking talent.
The foundational elements of the Doc Film Bazaar consist of the Doc Co-Production Market (Doc CPM), the Doc Viewing Room (Doc VR), and the Doc Work-In-Progress Lab (Doc WIP). These segments provide avenues for collaboration, funding, and mentorship for documentary and animation projects.
Filmmakers can pitch their projects at the Doc Co-Production Market to seek financial support and partnerships globally. The Viewing Room offers a curated selection of films for distribution and festival screenings. The Work-In-Progress Lab provides mentorship and feedback for films in rough-cut stages.
Shri. Prithul Kumar, Joint Secretary (Films) and MD of NFDC emphasized the platform’s focus on international exposure and opportunities for filmmakers. Doc Film Bazaar aims to provide insights into market demands, distribution strategies, and audience preferences.
Information regarding how to submit projects can be found on the MIFF website, accessible at www.miff.in.
