CATHERINE ULMER AND VENTURA DURALL TUTORS IN THE FORTHCOMING EDITION OF THE SAN SEBASTIAN LAU HAIZETARA DOCUMENTARY FORUM

Both of them will once again be responsible for the pitching preparation workshops, a training activity prior to the forum which will be held on 25th and 26th September in Tabakalera (International Centre for Contemporary Culture in San Sebastián).

Catherine Ulmer and Ventura Durall will be entrusted with providing guidance and working with producers, both individually and in groups.  Two intense days during which there will be extensive work on the presentation of both the storyline and the teaser in order to make them as attractive as possible, and the appropriate tools will be provided to get the most from the selected projects and to perfect the one-to-one meetings with the Commissioning Editors.

Both Catherine Ulmer and Ventura Durall are closely linked to the documentary world and have a long history of directing and producing projects with national and international presence and recognition. They know closely the ins and outs of a genre that is essential to reflect on the political, social and cultural reality over time.

Organised by IBAIA (Association of Independent Audio-Visual Producers of the Basque Country) in collaboration with the Industry Department of the San Sebastian Film Festival, this event has become a landmark event for documentaries and is supported by numerous institutions and organisations backing the development of the audiovisual sector.
