Documentary Campus 2010 

For years broadcasters have been the main financial resource of independent documentary films, but as we all know things are changing and gathering financing from other sources is becoming increasingly important. But what happens when the money for your film comes from alternative financing sources like film funds, social institutions, NGOs, museums or even corporations? What are the strings attached to these resources? These are some of the questions addressed at the first open training session.

The rules of the game are changing, that's certain. And with some of the most significant players in the different organizations, the first open training session will address these changes. Among the experts present for this session will be

·  Claire Aguilar Vice President of Programming, ITVS Independent Television Service, San Francisco, USA

·  Andrew Buchanan Freelance Executive Producer & Producer, , Somerset-Bristol, UK

·  Erik Bäckman Head of Audience Insight, YLE Fact and Culture, Helsinki, Finland

·  Heidi Gronauer Director, ZeLIG School for Documentary, Television and New Media, Bolzano, Italy
