We support short films (up to 25 minutes) by organizing events like case studies dedicated to short film production and the Short Pitch program, which connects filmmakers with industry professionals.
The Short Pitch Program is intended for creators of short documentary films from the region of Central and Eastern Europe. 5 selected short documentary film projects in the development or rough-cut phase will be presented in the form of pitching to sales agents, distributors, and festival and TV representatives at Millennium Docs Against Gravity. When selecting films, organizers will concentrate equally on artistic merit and exceptional content.
Focus: Short films in development and rough cut
