Docs in Progress FIDOCS + Conecta

For the third consecutive year, Conecta, International Documentary Industry Meeting, and FIDOCS, Santiago International Documentary Film Festival, have joined forces to invite national and Latin American directors and producers to participate in this section, with feature films in the Work in Progress stage.

The instance takes place in two stages, in online format, from November 16 to 23, and from December 12 to 15, 2023. The first stage consists of personalized advice from professionals in the areas of editing, directing, post-production, sales, distribution and exhibition, among others, according to the needs and requirements of each work. After this counseling, each filmmaker will have one month to present a new cut of the work in a second screening stage that will include a commission of prominent national and international professionals in the audiovisual area. In addition, those selected will participate in individual meetings with different industry agents participating in the Conecta event.
