Final Pitching 2010
The Art of Pitching
Documentary Campus invites you to The Art of Pitching which takes place on 23 & 24 October 2010 in Leipzig. The 15 participants of this year’s Masterschool will pitch their well developed documentary projects for an international audience to up to 45 international commissioning editors and distributors. Furthermore we offer you an attractive afternoon programme on Saturday and a Special Film Screening on Sunday.
REGISTRATION AS OBSERVER:
Interested producers, authors, directors and commissioning editors are invited to register for the Pitching Session as observers. By listening to the pitches and reactions of the decision makers, observers learn more about the slots, profiles and programming requirements of the broadcasters, and will get a good insight into the trends of the international non-fiction market. Registration for observers ends on 10 October 2010.
