Industry Days 2024 Round Up
That's a wrap on the 2024 Industry Days!
Across 2 packed days in Halle (Saale), we heard brilliant pitches from the 2024 Masterschool cohort, plus pitches from the 2024 Silbersalz Institute who both have been developing their nonfiction projects over the year through workshops, masterclasses, and mentorship. Not to mention the many 1-on-1 meetings between pitching teams and our industry execs, chances to network, and invaluable advice given at the pitching forum!
Amongst the inspiring pitches were five stand-outs that were selected as winners of the 2024 Pitch Awards a! Presented by our partner festivals and markets, these awards recognise the exceptional talent and stories shown at the Industry Days from the Masterschool and Silbersalz Institute pitching teams.
The CPH:DOX Award goes to Justice in the Land of Fog
The DOK.fest München Award goes to Bound Together
The Sunny Side of the Doc Award goes to Dear Future, I Am Ready
plus a special mention to Victory or Death - The Many Lives Of Monika Ertl
