The San Sebastian Lau Haizetara Forum announces the third edition of the IBAIA prize, which will be awarded to the best documentary project out of those presented

The 15th edition of the San Sebastian Lau Haizetara Documentary Co-Production Forum will award, for the third time, the IBAIA prize for the best project presented during the pitching day this coming 26 September.

The aim is to take another step forward in the development process of high-quality documentary genre projects and to galvanise their production, collaboration and initiation. In the last year’s edition, the prize was awarded to the Project ‘’Lobster Soup’ by Rafael Molés and Pepe Andreu (REC-Grabaketa Estudioa-Axfilms).

 The fifteen selected projects have a chance to win this 3,000 euro prize which will be awarded by the panel’s Commissioning Editors, taking into account the presentation, originality, treatment and dissemination potential when choosing the winning project.
