ZagrebDox Pro is a training programme consisting of a preparatory workshop for creative documentary projects in different stages and a pitching forum and individual meetings. The programme has a several sessions open to the general public as well. The next edition takes place late February 2017 in Zagreb, Croatia, during ZagrebDox International Documentary Film Festival which yearly screens more than 150 films produced in Europe and worldwide. Projects from Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Kosovo, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia and Serbia, dealing with the region thematically and/or those in search for a co-producer from one of these countries, have an advantage in the selection. Their international potential is a key factor. The workshop is tailored for professional director/producer teams. In some cases, teams can also be joined by the screenwriter, cinematographer or editor. The main objective of ZagrebDox Pro is to bring equal attention to the creative and business aspects of documentary film-making in Europe today. A substantial objective is also facilitating international exchange within Europe and between European subjects and those from other continents. ZagrebDox Pro is the only comprehensive workshop, market and network event tailor-made for documentary filmmakers and producers with projects in development or production situated in the SEE region and focusing primarily on discovering the regional talent and connecting it to the pan-European market. It is also the only activity focusing on documentary filmmaking in this geopolitical territory that includes a follow-up programme and offers a database of the pitched projects. For the last four editions programme has been funded by the Media Programme. ZagrebDox Pro also collaborates with partners, sponsors and donators which assist the implementation of the programme.
