Doha, Qatar: Al Jazeera Documentary Channel Industry Days has opened its portal for project submissions for its fourth edition, which will be held in Sarajevo from September 13 to 15.
“AJD Industry Days” is a forum dedicated to supporting the global expansion of documentaries, including international co-productions. It aims to match key decision-makers with interesting and valuable projects.
The event will offer documentary filmmakers and producers from Southeast Europe, Caucasus, and MENA the opportunity to network with leading regional and international documentary and TV industry professionals to secure funding. Filmmakers and producers from these regions are invited to submit their film projects between March 3 and May 31, 2025.
Selected participants will present their projects in Sarajevo to a panel of international broadcasters and prominent professionals. The panel will then select winners to receive funding for documentary production, and support for broadcast, distribution, screening, and international sales.
The total prize fund, supported by Al Jazeera Documentary Channel, Al Jazeera Balkans, and project partners, has been around $100,000 in previous years, and a similar amount will be awarded this year.
