The XVII Lau Haizetara Documentary Co-production Forum will take place on 21, 22 and 23 September 2021 within the framework of the 69th San Sebastian International Film Festival. This forum is organised by IBAIA (Association of Independent Audiovisual Producers of the Basque Country) in collaboration with the San Sebastian Film Festival.
From among the total number of registered projects, fourteen will be selected to be presented before potential funders and experts from the audiovisual and cinema sectors. They will also hold individual meetings with them.
In addition, they will have the chance to compete for the IBAIA prize, with 3,000 euros for the winning producer at stake. The Panel of Commissioning Editors, acting as the jury, will choose the winning project based on their assessment of presentation, originality, treatment and dissemination potential.
Until June 18 documentary producers interested in participating will be able to register through the forum’s website. Those selected will be announced at the end of June.
All the information regarding the open call and the registration process can be found on the forum’s website: www.lauhaizetara.eu
