To this date, some 60 documentary films have been made with the support of the Forum (www.dokweb.net/en/east-european-forum). The Forum is the region's largest meeting of East European documentary filmmakers and leading European commissioning editors, distributors, buyers and film fund representatives. Directors and independent producers offer their projects for co-production, pre-sales or any other form of financial support.
The Forum is introducing a Feedback Roundtable this year, which follows the presentations on October 25 and 26.
