Seminar "Good Pitch"
Putting good films to good uses, a window to good pitch
Co-presented by BRITDOC and the Ford Fondation. With the support of the Federal Office of Culture (FOC).
How can stories change the world? How do you produce an engaging documentary? What networks are there to strengthen its impact?
Good Pitch is a unique international event that brings together filmmakers, NGOs, entrepreneurs and philanthropists to discuss documentaries on topics related to human and environmental rights.
Through case studies, this session will provide professional and strategic tools to creating documentary films that have a real impact on the contemporary world.
With the exceptional presence of Cara Mertes, Director of JustFilms (Ford Foundation), and Beadie Finland Nicole van Schack (Britdoc).
