One month before the 19th edition of the San Sebastián LAU HAIZETARA Documentary Co-Production Forum gets under way, we can reveal some of the Commissioning Editors who will be present at this already consolidated event which, year after year, welcomes more and more professionals from the cinema industry linked to the documentary genre.
ARTE FRANCE (France), 3BOXMEDIA INTERNATIONAL SALES (Germany), FILMIN (Spain), SUNDANCE INSTITUTE (USA), TG4 (Ireland), RTVE (Spain), POV & AMERICA REFRAMED – AMERICA DOCUMENTARY, INC (USA), PRECIOSA MEDIA (Colombia), YLE (Finland) and AMCNETWORKS (Spain) are some of the names which will form part of the panel at this edition. A panel which will be made up of representatives of television companies, platforms, sales agents and national and international distributors of the highest level who will try to facilitate the opening up of new international markets for the documentaries presented. The complete list of attending Commissioning Editors will be available for consultation at a later date at the Forum’s website: www.lauhaizetara.eu.
Although the San Sebastián LAU HAIZETARA Forum will be in-person, as in the previous edition, it will facilitate the online participation of some Commissioning Editors who cannot be in San Sebastián on those dates but have shown great interest in the activity and the submitted projects.
The forum, which will take place from 25 to 27 September 2023, will continue to be held at TABAKALERA-International Centre of Contemporary Culture. The project director and producer will have 10 minutes to pitch all their project’s potential and show the teaser to the panel members and accredited attendees. The program will be complemented with one-to-one meetings of approximately 15 minutes between the Commissioning Editors and the representatives of the presented projects, with the aim of facilitating financing through possible collaboration, co-production or pre-sales agreements.
