MIPDoc unveiled a conference line up featuring prestigious exclusive content from around the world for its 2020 edition, which will take place on 28-29 March 2020 in a new venue at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.

Alongside the conference programme, MIPDoc will feature the world’s largest digital screenings library for factual content, as well as high-level matchmaking events and a dedicated co-production marketplace for international producers, buyers, commissioners and distributors.

As the largest annual gathering of the global factual community, MIPDoc provides a unique launchpad for premium international content and this year features: “Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller”, a world premiere screening presented by Disney Media Distribution; and a world exclusive preview of Neill Blomkamp’s collaboration with Otago Productions.

Furthermore, MIPDoc keynote showcases will provide an opportunity for buyers to hear directly from high profile non-scripted content creators as they outline their strategic ambitions and upcoming projects.

Additionally, a series of Content Strategy sessions will feature key content executives from companies like Discovery, Docu Bay, Hooq, ViacomCBS and Red Arrow sharing their acquisition and commissioning strategies, allowing producers and distributors to get a sense of what the market currently needs, and prepare their pitches accordingly.

This year MIPDoc will move into the Palais des Festivals in Cannes from the previously scheduled Martinez Hotel, due to unforeseen renovation works in the ballroom at the Martinez Hotel. The venue move accelerates the anticipated timetable which was to which was to move MIPDoc into the Palais in 2021, bringing the unscripted community under one roof as part of the transformation of MIPTV and creating a unified market experience for the unscripted production, distribution and buyer communities the weekend leading into MIPTV.
