Good Pitch is a unique live event which the BRITDOC Foundation hosts in different cities across North America and Europe, bringing together independent documentary filmmakers with specially invited foundations, NGOs, philanthropists, governmental agencies, campaigners, technology innovators, brands, broadcasters and media to form powerful alliances around ground-breaking social justice documentary films. These alliances aim to raise financial commitments from new investors, for production, completion and audience engagement spend, as well as creating new distribution opportunities to reach larger European audiences.For the very first time Good Pitch Europe will be traveling to the Nordic countries, where the first filmmaker workshop will take place in Finland and the second filmmaker workshop as well as the live event will be held in Oslo, Norway.In short, Good Pitch Europe 2015 will:1. Create networking opportunities online and offline, for filmmakers to meet and partner with foundations, NGOs, philanthropists, campaigners, governmental agencies, brand and brand agencies.2. Will educate European filmmakers, the non-profit and brand sectors about the possibilities of working together and to create best practice models for this new collaborative working model. 3. Will bring new, previously untapped cash investment into European documentary filmmaking from the NGO, governmental, foundation and philanthropic sectors. 4. Will open new global distribution routers and audience engagement opportunities for documentary filmmakers by partnering with foundations, NGOs and brands. Meaning documentary films are in the market for longer, reaching more people. 5. Will have a positive impact on European culture and democracy through greater production and distribution of documentaries which spark debate on the important issues of our time.
