Doc/Fest's MeetMarket is now open for Project Submissions!

"MeetMarket surprised me: I had an extraordinarily creative response to my film from 23 intelligent men and women who care passionately about documentaries. They reflected my story back to me and I came out richer - not just financially, although I have already been offered money to complete my film, but in terms of valuing my project." - MeetMarket participant 2007

Doc /Fest presents the UK's biggest international documentary marketplace which includes the unique pitching initiative: MeetMarket* where, in pre-scheduled match-made one-on-one meetings, documentary makers pitch their newest projects to dozens of UK and international buyers, EP's, commissioning editors and distributors. MeetMarket provides high quality, original ideas with the possibility to be fast-tracked from development to production, in a supportive and dynamic setting. The projected worth of sales in negotiation sparked at MeetMarket 2007 adds up to £4,321,980, and rising. MeetMarket is a unique way to pitch and discuss with the documentary decision-makers who matter.

Online project submissions are now open. Projects can be any stage of development and applicants can be from any geographic location. Interactive and cross-platform projects are also very welcome.
