The shortlisted teams for the Australian International Documentary Conference’s (Aidc) three key pitching programs have been revealed ahead of the online event later this month.
State of Play, Australia Uncovered, and Reel Smart Academic Roundtables will give participants the opportunity to pitch their projects to decision-makers at the four-day conference, with a view to securing funding or production partnerships.
Alice Burgin, Aidc CEO and conference director, said the annual event’s many pitching opportunities are part of what makes the annual event so important.
“We are so grateful for the continued support of Film Victoria, and our partnerships with Sbs and La Trobe University, as they help us realise these important opportunities,” she said.
“We’re extremely grateful that these organisations share our vision for an Australian nonfiction sector that is relevant, curiously imaginative and perpetually excited by what the future has to offer.”
