Nordisk Panorama Announces 2020 Festival Programming Team

We are thrilled about this year's programming team. Martijn te Pas, previous Senior Programmer at IDFA and Cecilia Lidin, Documentary Consultant at the Danish Film Institute will serve as this year’s guest documentary programmers. The short film section will be programmed by Sam Groves and Lucile Bourliaud, both from Flatpack Festival.

Martijn te Pas will bring his international perspective to the selection of documentary films for Nordisk Panorama while Cecilia Lidin knows the Nordic countries like her back pocket. We are also excited that Sam Groves will again be programming our short film section since he has a proven record of finding short films that push the boundaries of storytelling. This year he will be accompanied by his colleague at Flackpack Festival, Lucile Bourliaud.

dok.incubator Calls for Feature Docs in Rough-cut Stage - Deadline 29 January

The rough-cut workshop dok.incubator invites ambitious directors, producers and editors with late-stage documentary projects to work with top international tutors for 6 months of intensive editing and project development!

Eight projects in rough-cut stage will be selected to participate. During 3 workshops in April/May, June and September teams of producer-director-editor will focus the film’s unique perspective and sharpen the storytelling, placing it within the international context and finding concrete tools to effectively approach future audiences. Intensive work on editing, distribution and audience building upgrades your rough-cut to a high-end film with the potential to meet a worldwide interest.

At Nordisk Panorama we look forward to hosting the final presentation of the films selected as a proud partner of dok.incubator.

The deadline is coming up on 29 January. Find more info and apply here to join some of the previous participants in their success.

At this year's Sundance Film Festival 3 films developed in dok.incubator workshops are now competing! Once Upon a Time in Venezuela (VE/ UK/ AT/ BR), The Earth is Blue as an Orange (UA/LT) and Acasa, My Home (RO/ FI/ DE).

Our New Workshop: Doc Forward Launching in 2 Weeks

Nordisk Panorama is launching a new talent development workshop for Nordic documentary filmmakers: Doc Forward. It is a project-driven co-production workshop for emerging Nordic documentary producers and directors. The focus is on nationally established and new talent directors with ambitions to go international in partnership with both new and more established producers.

12 Nordic projects have been selected and in less than 2 weeks they will meet outside Helsinki to develop their projects, establish contacts with Nordic colleagues and network.

As part of the workshop Nordisk Panorama will organise a Nordic rough-cut session together with DocPoint Documentary Film Festival, open to industry professionals. Three Nordic rough-cuts will receive input from an expert panel consisting of renowned editor Yael Bitton and the two industry experts Miia Haavisto and Iikka Vehkalahti. If you are in Helsinki on on Friday January 31st, don't miss the rough-cut session.

The Nordic project Twice Colonized successfully pitched at Hot Docs 2019 and later at NP Forum
