Negotiating the Documentary Market

Dive into the heart of today’s documentary market in a dynamic conversation that reveals the essentials every filmmaker should understand, and why it matters. Discover actionable insights from Filmmaker Accelerator’s founder and director Lina Lyte Plioplyte (Periodical) on leveraging this knowledge for impactful pitches, audience building, and innovative strategies to get your film seen. An overview of the current landscape will be provided, sharing creative approaches to enhance your market positioning. Get inspiration from case studies about filmmakers who achieved success through novel approaches to promoting their work and building an audience.

All Winter 2024 PRO attendees are invited to wrap up the season with an exclusive peer-to-peer consulting session. Engage in small group consultations where filmmakers walk away with concrete insight into a current dilemma. It’s a unique opportunity for collaborative learning and meaningful exchanges. A follow-up email with joining details will be sent to all winter 2024 registrants.

Tickets are $19 ($14 for IFC Center members). Tickets are non-refundable.

All registrants may participate in the live session, and will also receive access to the recorded event, a written transcript, the chat transcript and a copy of the slide presentation (if available) after the livestream.
