  Ένα 3ώρο εργαστήρι με τη μορφή παρουσίασης που καλεί το κοινό να συμμετέχει με τις ερωτήσεις του στο τέλος κάθε ενότητας, πριν το διάλλειμα. Στο τέλος του εργαστηρίου θα πραγματοποιηθεί ένα ωριαίο Q&A ώστε να καλυφθούν τα θέματα που απασχολούν το κοινό. Πιστεύουμε πως οι εμπειρίες του κοινού καθώς και τα παραδείγματα που θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε θα συμβάλλουν στην κατανόηση κάποιων αφηρημένων εννοιών. Θα μιλήσουμε για την παραγωγή, τις πωλήσεις και τις προπωλήσεις, την αγορά του ντοκιμαντέρ, τη διανομή στις αίθουσες και τη συμμετοχή σε φεστιβάλ, τη στρατηγική συμμετοχής σε διεθνή φεστιβάλ και το μέλλον του είδους. Το εργαστήρι θα πραγματοποιηθεί στα αγγλικά.

Outline for a 3 hour workshop about the Ever-Evolving Documentary Marketplace


We have a style of presentation that will invite the audience to participate at the end of each session prior to breaks with a short Q&A, and at the end an hour Q&A, so that all the participants need and want to know should get addressed. We think that including some experiences from the audience as well as examples we will use will help bring sometimes rather abstract material to life for our audience.

Subjects:
Production:
Local (home market) subjects vs those with more universal appeal
Some films will work domestically, some internationally.
Those made for domestic and will NOT work internationally
Take the maximum advantage of your access: make different versions for different markets
Research what other films have been done in the last 10 years on the same or similar subject
Releases � include all media now known and to be invented and adaptation rights if possible or option for them for period of time
Clearances - of music, archive, stills, film clips, ads, cards, and other copyrighted material that is not owned by the filmmaker � for doc and ancillary rights such as soundtrack if appropriate
The most effective lengths � hour, feature, festival lengths (versions)
No two slot lengths are the same anymore, so we now call it generally the TV hour.
Tech notes - including on screen texts, 16-9, 4-3, HD - the far-reaching consequences for the marketplace and the producers
The future of broadcasting: HD and non-HD material

Sales and Pre-sales
The difference between Pre-sales and Co-productions
The Basic Rules of Co-production
Acquisitions
Revenues
What rights can you license / sell and who buys them?
New developments: VOD, PPV, ipod, Moby, and the Internet. What belongs with which media? The broadcasters?
Contracts �and is it necessary to work w a lawyer and / or sales agent (more on this at end of afternoon)

The market
Introduction: The life of docs: festivals, theatrical, non-theatrical, home video, broadcast, internet and new media.
Where docs primarily get sold / where the majority of money is usually made for filmmakers
Broadcast still remains the primary revenue generator
What primarily gets sold and to whom
Where to sell your projects and completed films:
Broadcast only markets (Miptv etc)
Film Festivals with market facilities, video libraries
Emailing CE�s / Personal visits
Pitch forums: The Idfa Forum, TDF, IFP Market, Euro Doc, Sheffield, etc
All media deals
Worldwide deals � advantages and disadvantages
Windows - when to release what media

Theatrical & Festivals
Introduction:
It seems today everyone wants to make a theatrical doc. What are the issues?
The fact that still 95% of all docs seen by viewers are seen on television
Basic rules: what makes a doc THEATRICAL?

International Film Festival Strategy, including:
When to send your film out: rough or fine cut or finished films
Danger of sending films out too early
Major launch pad festivals: identify and describe
Optimal festival policy for World Premiere, International Premieres, European Premiere, North American Premiere, US Premiere, National festivals
Lengths of films festivals typically go for and why
What is the order of events in an ideal marketplace: an example of a launch calendar

The Future:
The old models
The NEW MEDIA and the new models (Self-distribution possibilities)
New media: The Internet: The good & the bad points
Future: Position of the independent filmmaker in all of this.
END ON THE SIX BASIC RULES (JR STORY)
