Marketplace Open Training Session in partnership with Documentary Campus
Seven films – seven perspectives, moderation: Peter Jaeger (founder of AUTLOOK Filmsales)
Industry expert Peter Jaeger introduces selected guests from the international film and television scene. Filmmaking projects with international potential – narrative documentaries, series, web-based formats, VR and 360 ° experiences – will be presented on stage in dialogue with keynotes and statements by international guests.
The aim of the Open Training Session is an open jury situation in which the public learns to understand the decision-making processes in the industry and can exchange information among themselves.
Unlike the closed sessions of the Marketplace, this event takes place in a public setting. All this year´s DOK.fest juries, market experts and participants have the opportunityto have a common look at film material and points of view and to discuss.
