Copenhagen Dock Festival CPH on Tuesday: Dox, with European broadcasters, funds and manufacturers, gathered for a private lunch in the odd fellow palace to discuss the increasing dangers of the US market, journalist political facility documentaries. The goal of the meeting was to determine the ways of funding and distributing political doors without the support of American mainstream producers and distributors, that is,, ie,, ie, NetflixAmazon, Apple and Disney.
The attendees included Barbara Trueen, the chairman of the EBU documentary group; Anders Bruce from DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation); Lee Fails, Visual Production Company Partner; Christian Beatz, CEO of German Production House Beatz Brothers; Head of Alexandre Marionu, Society and Culture Department of Art France heads of; Garalin Draffus, co-founder and Oscar winning manufacturer of impact partners; Manufacturer Met Hyde, who owns the production company Plus Pictures; And Ara manufacturer Sara Mowswes.
Mowaswes, who lives in the US, is to participate in CPH: Forum in Copenhagen, with “Untitled Edward Saeed Documentary”, which she is producing with Alex Gibni. While the Doctor Forum Pitch is closed, Mowswas revealed that the film would be told using Sad Voice and Army Footage, about the leading lawyer in the United States of the literary critic of the University of Columbia and the Palestinian independence.
“We have been accessible by the family, so it is really amazing, but we know very much that we will probably not get distribution,” Mowes said. “So we came to the CPH to talk to European funds, talk to other funds and interact about getting those partners who are ready to take a risk in investing in a political story.”
Directed by Maiken Baird, Doc is currently being fined independently.
“Being a Palestinian, you are political only on the basis of current, and that was Edward’s life,” Mowes said. “It seems that when you step into Europe, people are more inclined to talk about it. It has been really good to see the success of ‘no other land’ abroad, but we know that it is definitely going to be a difficult fight (with this film).”
Mowaswes is one of the many producers in CPH: Dox searched for European co-products. The Maga-Efficiency of US Gatekeepers has a cool effect on the funding of development in the US. Major platforms are only behind the doors that are not going to rock the boat, or as a CPH participant said, “Escapism Docs.” Gibbani’s “Bibi files“Which describes corruption charges against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, still not an American dramatic distributor after his magnificent Toronto World Premier in September.
But according to Fails, which is located in the Netherlands, if an American production wants to co-manufacture with an European company, filmmakers need to broaden their storytelling views.
“It should not be that American comes with stories that they just want to explain from an American point of view,” Fals said. “This should be a cooperation and a mutual understanding of stories that they want to share. If an American filmmaker comes here only to get soft wealth, he can make his own film about Elon (Musk), I don’t think this is the right approach.
Beatz, who has worked with all major streams, agreed with Fails before adding it, while money for Docs is money in Europe, it is not easy to access.
“We work completely differently,” Beatz said. “It is more about collaboration, and we have a lot of funding systems in European countries that are still very strong, as well as public broadcaster systems, which have great hunger for large documentaries. But also to be honest, it is not easy to reach this funding system. It is quite complicated.”
Beatz also admitted that it has recently been a “struggle” to find an American house for its European-financially.
Beatz said, “Netflix used to raise our films, but right now the situation has completely changed because they are only interested in the fact that I am also interested in a bikini show.” “Young in bikini on beaches. They are no longer interested in political or social issues. It would be interesting to find a new way in terms of distribution as streamers moved to the right.”
On 24 March, Beatz Brothers unveiled their latest high-profile doctor, “Tesla Files” About the alleged threat to Kasturi’s political influence. The film is part of CPH: The forum is being made in collaboration with the German Public Broadcaster ARD.
“Tesla Files” is currently one of the two doors about musk in production. Gibni’s upcoming documentary “Musk” has distribution through HBO Max. In 2023, the Universal Pictures Content Group acquired international rights for the film. It is an idea of ​​whether David will be sufficiently brave to kill Jaslav Trump and will allow “musk” to stream on Max.
The division of film rights, the rights around the world and the region carry on the sales sector and reducing the American Doc budget were also the subjects of interaction during an hour -long lunch.
“It was an interesting but an interesting but uncomfortable topic to discuss with Americans in the room, but in Europe we have less budget than you, but we still make a great documentary,” Troyen said, which was commented with laughter. “If we can come on a budget that is good for all, and we can finally make (doctor) cheaper, then it will be with the IP manufacturer, and it’s a good thing.”
