Creating good stories for young audiences – Why collaborating matters

IDFA INDUSTRY SESSION 2021

Aimed at professionals interested in the realm of children’s documentaries, this session looks at how strategic partnerships in the early development and financing stages of a project can open new horizons for reaching the young audience.

What are the underlying support structures and collaborations that can help filmmakers to develop, produce, and reach audiences with their films? Who are financiers and platforms contributing to this? And what can we learn from existing models?

Through inspiring case studies, this interactive hour-long program is based on knowledge-sharing and is an opportunity for professionals interested in content for young audiences to come together and network.

The session is in collaboration with KIDS Regio and Real Young.

Moderator: Ove Rishøj Jensen, DK

The session is followed by a think tank where invited professionals will discuss how the genre could be strengthened further.
