31st January - 3rd February 2008

DocsBarcelona - now in its eleventh year - is an annual pitching forum, run by EDN and Barcelona production company Parallel 40.

In 2007, the organisers are also launching the International Documentary Festival, which will be held alongside the Pitching Forum. The festival features a carefully chosen series of films selected by eminent members of the international documentary scene, which will be playing in different cinemas around Barcelona. The programme is divided into these categories:
  • Panorama, dedicated to recent productions. Works in this category will be selected by Tue Steen Müller, who directed the European Documentary Network from its foundation in 1996 to 2005.
  • Le Dernier Repas, a showcase of the favourite films of an experienced documentary professional, in this case, Eckart Stein, who directed ZDF’s ‘Das kleine Fernsehspiel’ for more than 2 decades, where he co-produced some of the best documentaries seen in recent years.
  • History. This section features a prestigious group of films selected by Montse Armengou. Montse is a journalist with more than 20 years of experience directing historical documentaries for TV3.
  • 12 – 16, a documentary showcase for young people between the ages of 12 and 16.
These documentaries will be introduced by their directors, who will participate in round table discussions after the screenings.
