● This year Chiledoc was one of the financing organizations of Conecta, VIII Meeting of the International Documentary Film Industry.
● Conecta had 27 countries represented, 46 participating projects, 38 international guests, and 21 Chilean guests.
Ten projects were awarded, among which 13 awards from our partner organizations and companies were distributed.
● A total of 14 awards were given to projects from Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Ecuador and Chile.
● Over 500 meetings were held, establishing connections with industry representatives from America, Europe, and Asia.
● For the second time in Latin America, The Whickers Prize, consisting of £3,000, was awarded. This time, it went to the Brazilian-Japanese project Green Kids, directed by Pedro Nishi and produced by João Pedro Bim and Lucas Silva Campos.
Conecta has positioned itself in the region as a seedbed for new talents and projects in development. One of its objectives as an industry meeting is to be a space dedicated to promote the commercialization and distribution of Latin American projects, and contact them with the world.
Diego Pino, Executive Director of CCDoc, points out that «This year we would particularly like to thank the representatives of the Latin American projects that participated in Conecta, because through their different perspectives and diversity of languages, they came to the meeting, not only to connect with the industry, but also in the spirit of generating networks to strengthen the documentary community. It was also a search for identity, belonging and, in addition, a reflection on the problems that afflict the continent. We hope that the ties forged during Conecta will foster a sustainable relationship over time».
International guests, along with the Chilean Documentary Corporation (CCDoc) board of directors.
