Mother Lode – ParisDOC Works in Progress 2020 – Cineuropa

They were supposed to come together today, in Paris, at the Pompidou Centre, with a view to discovering the films and attending the pitches delivered by the filmmakers and producers of eight documentaries, either in post-production or in production. Alas, the current Coronavirus situation and the lock-down recently implemented in France have dictated otherwise. Nevertheless, in much the same vein as the 42nd Cinéma du réel Festival which is continuing online until 22 March for the juries and badgeholders involved, the professional platform that is ParisDOC has adapted rapidly, and the various distributers (festival programmers, sales agents, distributers, TV channels, online platforms and cinema operators) invited to and signed up for the 7th edition of the Work in Progress event will be able to access the selected documentaries’ film images, alongside a 5-minute video-pitch, online.
