MIPTV has announced the call for entries is now open for the 2024 Mipdoc Pitch set to take place in Cannes ahead of the 61st edition of the MIPTV Spring International Television Market, scheduled from 8-10 April 2024.“Mipdoc is where factual projects find their global partners,” Lucy Smith, Director of MIPTV said. “The annual Pitch is an unparalleled opportunity within that for a concept to cut through and get in front of the decision makers. I’d encourage anyone whose ideas are eligible to enter.”
Producers and content creators globally are now invited to submit entries, with the final selection to be determined by a jury of international Documentary and Factual executives. To be eligible, projects must be original documentary or factual concepts, as yet fully funded or pitched at a festival or market. The deadline for submissions is 26 February 2024.
The 2024 Mipdoc Pitch forms part of a MIPTV pre-opening weekend, scheduled to take place from 6-7 April. The event will feature extended Mipdoc and Mipformats strands, gathering documentary, factual and format communities ahead of the market for two days of networking, screening, showcases and deals. Seeking innovative factual projects with clear global potential, the popular competition provides invaluable visibility through exposure to a jury of influential decision makers and attending international buyers.
Five finalists will be selected to pitch onstage in the Palais des Festivals in front of a panel of experts and live audience on Saturday 6 April, where one will be presented with the Mipdoc Pitch Trophy. The weekend’s Mipdoc, Mipformats and Mipdrama strands will be followed by the three-day international MIPTV exhibition market running 8-10 April, which last year welcomed over 5500 delegates from over 80 countries, one accreditation covers all activity.
International Series Festival Canneseries will again run alongside MIPTV from 5-10 April 2024. The 2024 Spring market program will feature renowned elements including keynotes from leading industry players, The MIP SDG Award (in partnership with the United Nations), and MIPLAB summits focusing on the future of the industry.
