Docs Ireland: The New Doc-Making Reality: Producing Docs in a Precarious Landscape

Recognising that the ecosystem of cinema is experiencing its own downturn like the rest of the world, the reality of creating independent film is in a more difficult space than ever. Tighter funding margins and commissioning briefs, as well as shifting distribution models, has only added to the precarity of financing and finding a home for your film to be seen.

However, incredible documentaries are still being made and there are still pathways to funding your film. Much like working filmmakers, many institutions have had to adapt to this new reality themselves. This event will bring together film professionals across the value chain to discuss their experience of working in this new reality, providing a positive outlook and perspective on finding a route to production and exhibition, through presentations, case studies and honest discussion.

Through sharing the expertise and knowledge of the contributors, the aim of this event is to provide intel on pathways for financing and fostering strategies to get your film made.
