MiradasDoc Market is an international market for documentary professional who look SOUTHwards:

  • Producers/Filmmakers whose films have been produced or shot in Africa, LatinAmerica or Asia
  • Producers from all over the world who are dealing with the relationship between the northern and southern hemispheres.

MiradasDOC Market is the ideal space for documentary projects in search of financing and for finished documentaries looking for distribution or exhibition.

From 10 to 12 projects are selected each year to be pitched to an international panel of Commissioning editors, TV channels and sales agents. African films or about Africa are welcome at www.miradasdoc.com. Check our grant for african projects:

Goals & Achievements:
Several national and international coproductions, presales, and distribution agreements are signed as a result of MiradasDoc Market meetings. Thanks to those encounters, independent filmmakers are seing their dreamt projects and films being completed and launched to the international global market through Films Festivals and TV Channels and VOD platforms.

From Africa have participated projects from Swaziland, Southafrica or Guinea Ecuatorial with successful results in past editions.

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!
