Leipzig Networking Days Reloaded 2022
Exciting new documentary projects.
Aspiring young filmmakers.
New trends in industry.
Great awards.
The Leipzig Networking Days are the highlight of the Documentary Campus event calendar. It is the culmination of our 10-month training programme with the final pitching of the 15 projects developed at Masterschool 2022 as well as selected Documentary Campus Creative Council projects. But it is so much more than that. This year, in collaboration with mdr, the hybrid programme will include thematic roundtables on storytelling, social impact and streamers. Great awards will be presented by CPH:DOX, Sunny Side of the Doc, Sheffield DocFest and DOKfest Munich. And, of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to network! As a delegate, you have a unique chance to win a surprise pitch and present your own project in front of distinguished international buyers.
