in ThessalonikiPitching Forum 2000
 
March 28-April 1 2000in Thessaloniki, 
Greece
 
Organised by EDN, European Documentary Network 
in collaboration with the MEDIA Desk Hellas and Thessaloniki Documentary

The first day is devoted to give a general overview 
of the market situation for documentaries in Western Europe. The two subsequent 
days are group work, where the producers meet with international experts and 
colleagues, who help them improve and target their projects to the international 
market. During the days pitching is also taught to prepare the producers for the 
last two days, where they meet a panel of European commisioning editors from 4 
to 5 countries. During the two mornings the projects are pitched in public to 
the panelists with individual meetings in the afternoons. 
 
"Docs in Thessaloniki - Pitching Forum 2000" gives 
the independent producer a unique chance of presenting a project 
internationally, to meet colleagues and create alliances for future cooperation 
in a Europe, where coproductions are becoming more and more common and necessary
