MeetMarket Submissions

AIDC received over 70 entries for MeetMarket 2012.

An independent international selection committee selected 21 successful projects by Australian and New Zealand filmmakers. 

AIDC Executive Director, Joost den Hartog says, “We are very happy with this year’s slate of MeetMarket projects which include works in development by seasoned and emerging filmmakers.”

Screen Australia Chief Executive Ruth Harley says, "MeetMarket provides a unique chance for documentary filmmakers with projects in development to meet with potential buyers. Screen Australia is proud to again be partnering with AIDC to deliver this opportunity and we congratulate all those selected to participate this year.”

Producers, broadcasters and distributors from the documentary industry are now viewing the 21 projects and will choose ones they wish to discuss further in one-on-one meetings with the filmmakers at AIDC.

These meetings provide the opportunity for creative ideas to be fast-tracked within a supportive and structured setting.
