Join the Documentary Campus for the 2010 kick-off and learn more about where to get your money from when it comes to alternative financing models.
MY MONEY, MY FILM.
Money is more than welcome for documentary production as it is highly needed, but difficult to find. For years broadcasters have been the main financial resource of 'independent' (non-commercial nor institutional) documentary films but things are changing, as we all know.
The symposium is dealing with questions like: What happens when money comes from other sources like film funds, social institutions, NGOs or even corporations willing to fund films on social or environmental issues? What are the strings attached to these resources? How promotional must you be?
Throughout the weekend from Saturday, 20 March 2010 to Sunday, 21 March 2010, Documentary Campus will present exciting panels and case studies with a range of leading European and American experts discussing the changing funding landscape, the new possibilities which arise thereof and how to make use of them. The event takes place in the Literaturhaus Graz, Austria.
Interested professionals can register by filling out the application form available on the Documentary Campus website, but there are only a few days left - submission deadline is 15 March!
