HISTORY INSIDE/OUT

History is brought to the forefront, for in these amnesia-esque times, remembering the past could not be more relevant to invite audiences to seek new meaning in the present world.

The 2020 edition of Sunny Side of the Doc will shine a light on the imminent opportunities of historytelling which tirelessly questions the collective memory, explores the hybrid trends of the genre, introduces new narrative forms, extends the use of archival materials, and is still of interest to international broadcasters, SVOD platforms and distributors.

In the new media landscape, this focus is thought inside & out, reframing history and encouraging convergence around valuable exchange of ideas, talents, co-productions, digital experiences, technical solutions and the most innovative documentary projects in development.

ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY

Every June, Sunny Side of the Doc enhances the international co-production funding and distribution of landmark documentaries and non-fiction content for all platforms by providing industry stakeholders with an international forum for business development, deal-making and networking.

ENGAGING NEW TALENTS

Now in its 31st year, Sunny Side of the Doc aims to support the emerging producing talent from less represented regions and draw together the creative minds driving transformation across the media sector and revamping the documentary genre with digital technologies, new usages, new narrative experiments.
