At Pitching du Réel a whole day will be devoted to the pitching of the 10 selected projects to 80 to 90 potential partners: commissioning editors, producers, distributors, sales agents, and financers. The time for each project is at least 30 minutes, which makes it possible to develop a substantial discussion on the content and filmic elements of the presented project.

Selection criteria for Pitching du Réel:

 - feature-length documentary project

 - subject adapted to an international co-production

 - the project can be in the initial financing stage.
