DOX:MOSAIC is a forum that aims to gather broadcasters, filmmakers and producers from the Middle East and Europe during the CPH:DOX Film Festival in Copenhagen in November
As an exciting side-event at the much anticipated CPH:DOX Film Festival in Copenhagen in November, a discussion forum titled DOX:MOSAIC is being organised to foster a stronger dialogue between Middle Eastern and European counterparts and to offer Danish, Nordic and Middle Eastern producers an insight into each other's world.
The event will take place 9 November and is organised by CPH:DOX, International Media Support (IMS) and Danish Broadcasting Cooperation (DR).
DOX:MOSAIC discussion forum
The day will begin with a short introductory session by Middle Eastern and European broadcasters about their specific needs and what they look for when selecting documentary film for TV broadcasting - followed by individual project presentations. The seminar will include discussions on the impact of documentary film in Europe and the Middle East. The day will end with a pitching session closed to the public on selected projects from the invited submissions.
Application process:
We are looking for projects that will open our eyes to new worlds and challenge conformity of the region's viewpoints. The application process requires a synopsis of max 1200 characters, a production budget and a trailer. There is no entry fee for submissions. Send your project to jasmin[snabela]cphdox.dk.
DOX:MOSAIC is open to submissions until 11 October 2010.
