Impact day 2019

How to produce committed documentaries? How can we shape stories that transcend our perceptions of the world? What allies can be found to make these projects a reality and strengthen their impact? For the first time, the FIFDH is offering a programme specially designed for professionals in the audiovisual industry: exclusive meetings with our guests, conferences and networking opportunities. The highlight of this programme, the "IMPACT DAY" is a unique occasion during which filmmakers, NGOs, entrepreneurs and philanthropists can exchange ideas and discover alternative partners and new funding opportunities. An event that provides the keys to creating documentary films with a real impact on the contemporary world.
