Testimony of Southafrican Director who was selected and won the 3,000 euros Pitch award:
MiradasDoc has a particularly special atmosphere. Unlike some festivals and markets, you really feel as if it is a place that genuinely cares about helping your documentary dreams be realised. It was the perfect combination of skills development, networking opportunities with incredible filmmakers, sales agents and commissioning editors from around the world, and a chance to watch documentaries in one of the world’s most beautiful and hospitable settings. The pitching workshop was invaluable. It was an amazing opportunity to be coached by one of the industry’s experts in the field and to put that into practice with our own documentaries. The Q&A sessions with visiting filmmakers was also fantastic. Thank you, it was a great market!. Thank you for covering my airfare and meals. I would not have been able to come otherwise. I learned so much and met so many fantastic people. I hope to see you all again next year!
