B2B DOC: PRODUCERS MEET PRODUCERS B2B DOC in cooperation with DOCUDAYS UA is arranging a co-production event PRODUCERS MEET PRODUCERS. The preselected film projects from Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Poland and Russia will be presented to the established European film producers, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents and festival programmers. The main idea of the event is to help the filmmakers from the post-Soviet countries and Eastern Europe come out to the European film financing market through establishing co-productions.

The event will consist of public presentations of the film projects, followed by one-to-one meetings.

B2B DOC is the informal network of documentary filmmakers, living and working between the Baltic and the Black seas. The network was inaugurated at DOCUDAYS UA in 2014.

PLATFORM-DOC & FESTIVAL-DOC: A CASE STUDY The market for online docs is growing. With short doc platforms emerging from new and established media players, it’s clear that they are becoming more and more popular. But what is different about producing a doc for a platform like the Guardian or the New York Times rather than a ‘typical film festival documentary’?

This case study will compare two Ukrainian documentaries sharing the same content and protagonist, but each produced with a different target in mind: Home Match (short platform doc) and Home Games (feature-length festival doc). What are the differences and similarities between their narratives, storytelling techniques, and the process of production?

Participants: director Alisa Kovalenko and producer Stephane Siohan (East Roads Films).

Moderator: Daniel Abma (DOK Leipzig).

The event is part of the GLOBAL SHORT DOCS FORUM.

DISCUSSION ’CURE FOR AGEING. THE NEW DIGITAL BODY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE‘ The digital age has opened boundless possibilities, but at the same time it presents new challenges both for artists and for archive and museum managers. Is the age of analogue cinema, ledgers and inventory cards definitely behind us? How do contemporary filmmakers reflect on the transition from analogue to digital formats?

What are the advantages and risks of the process of total digitisation? What would the ideal archive of the future look like?

DISCUSSION ‘PUBLIC SPACES: FREE ACCESS?’ The development of public space in Ukraine involves rethinking the Soviet heritage.

In Soviet times, art was fully in service of the state ideology and was supposed to be accessible to a wide audience, so cinemas and houses of culture appeared in almost every town or village. Today, these cultural facilities are being destroyed and turned into stores or churches, or just crumbe from neglect. Is it possible to transform these ‘quasi-public spaces’ inherited from Soviet times into contemporary culture and art centres?

Discussion ‘Does Netflix Affect the Language of Cinema?’

VOD platforms are now not just popular, and they don’t just receive major awards in the film industry. They have rewired the market, and are beginning to affect the form of film itself. Documentary films are made by Netflix and the Guardian, digital distribution is growing, and platforms dictate their own rules to directors and producers. What are these rules, and how has the way we watch films changed?

How much cinema is actually still left in the new digital product?

Roundtable on Sound in Documentary Film Music Does the reality of documentary film need music or sound design as an instrument to affect the audience? Is music manipulative, or is it a necessary narrative element of films? This roundtable will focus on the ethical aspects of soundtracks for nonfiction films, but also on some practical advice. For example, how to make music for documentaries, how to use existing soundtracks without breaking copyright laws, and what to take into account while working on documentary sound recording.

Conversation with Qutaiba Barhamji As the director Steven Soderbergh said, editing is a process that reveals all the advantages and disadvantages of film. That is why editing is one of the most important jobs in filmmaking. What difficulties do editors face when they create documentary films? How to master and systematise the huge volumes of footage and stick to the truth of life? What is special about working with debutant directors, and how to tie real-life and screen time together?

Non-linear Documentary Storytelling.

Lecture by Olga Kravets It happens at times that making a film is just not enough to tell your story properly or reach the right audience. In this case, there is literally an endless list of emerging genres of immersive non-linear storytelling that are out there to help you. Through a case study of the best examples from a decade of internet storytelling, this lecture will explore the ever-evolving genre of web documentary, the approach to workflow, storytelling tools and financing & distribution opportunities for your project.

Qutaiba Barhamji was born in Damascus and lives in Paris. His editing work has received multiple awards. One of them is Still Recording (by Ghiath Ayoub and Saeed Al Batal), selected for our DOCU/BEST programme this year.

Olga Kravets, an award-winning documentary photographer and filmmaker, works primarily on long-term projects about conflict and human rights across the former USSR, the Middle East, and the Balkans.

Minding the Gap : A Case Study on Impact Campaign

Death by Design: A Case Study on Impact from the Grassroots

Unrest: A Case Study on Creative Impact Distribution

The campaign around the film Minding the Gap is currently gaining momentum.

Megan Vandervort from the Picture Motion impact agency will explain how the film has managed to succeed, and share their future plans with human rights activists and civic organisations. Megan will focus on the impact strategies and tactics for Minding the Gap, as well as ways to identify impact results.

Caitlin Boyle founded the boutique film distribution firm Film Sprout in 2009, becoming an advocate of film’s power to effect grassroots social change. She has engineered audience engagement for more than fifty films. Through a case study featuring the film Death By Design, Caitlin will show how grassroots screening initiatives and citizen-driven actions like petition-writing campaigns can create new opportunities for documentaries seeking to make a change in the world.

Rebecca Ashdown is campaign director for Together Films, a marketing, distribution & data agency based in London. She specialises in developing strategic partnerships to ensure that content reaches the widest possible audience, and manages theatrical and non-theatrical bookings. During a case study of the feature documentary Unrest and the accompanying virtual reality installation Unrest VR, Rebecca will focus on the unique hybrid distribution model, the creative ways of maximising non-theatrical screening campaigns, and reaching your target audience using the right platform.
