EAST SILVER  2020

East Silver Market

East Silver is the first documentary market which supports producers and distributors from Central and East Europe. Each year, about 300 films from more than 29 countries are included in the market. The 17th edition of the East Silver Market takes place at the 24rd Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in October 27 –  November 1, 2020, Jihlava, Czech Republic.

Because of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the East Silver Market activities will be organized online this year. The main part of East Silver 2020 will be during the Ji.hlava International Film Festival, from 27 October to November 1, 2020, for accredited film industry members and media professionals only. The films in the market will be available online in our East Silver Videolibrary, which is accessible to industry professionals during the year. On the dates of the festival participating professionals with film in the market could sign-up for the one-on-one meetings, which will be scheduled by the matchmaker. For more information about the meetings, please see here.
