Good Pitch is a unique programme devised and delivered by the team at documentary film organisation BRITDOC. We host Good Pitch in different cities across the globe, 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. In 2017, Good Pitch Europe will be hosted in Copenhagen in collaboration with CPH:DOX Film Festival. This edition marks the climax of a three year programme of investment and commitment to the filmmaker and changemaker community across the Nordic region, after which Good Pitch will be traveling on to other parts of Europe. As part of the Good Pitch Europe programme, the Impact Producers Lab will return to Finland in October 2016 followed by the second filmmaker workshop, the Good Pitch live event and summit meetings to be taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2017. In short, Good Pitch Europe 2017 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.
