Speed Meetings: a financing and distribution market for documentary industry
Speed Meetings are DocsBarcelona’s main industry activity. It is the perfect place to promote and finance your project to potential financers and film distributors. A meeting point for professionals from all over the world.
40 projects selected for Speed Meetings will have one to one meetings of 15 minutes with financers. The Meetings will be arranged previously depending on financers and projects needs.
In addition, and as a novelty, this year arrives the Public Pitch where will participate 5 of the 40 projects presented in the Speed Meetings. The Public Pitch is the perfect opportunity to present your project to the financers and to the accredited professionals of DocsBarcelona.
