ZagrebDox Pro: Dox of War - Call for entries 2023

ZAGREBDOX PRO: DOX OF WAR (MARCH 27 TO 31, 2023)

ZAGREBDOX PRO is a five-day program that brings together documentary filmmakers in pursuit of excellence through analysis of their submitted projects, along with recommendations and suggestions for their further development. Additionally, the program offers one-year online mentoring, case studies, group and individual discussions, masterclass lectures, special film screenings and round tables.

Lecturers, experts and guests at the Dox of War programs of ZagrebDox Pro will be some of the most important European masters of documentaries. Of course, those who stood out precisely with their films about the war. In addition to filmmakers, writers, psychologists, humanitarians, publicists, and journalists will also participate in the program.

ZagrebDox Pro introduction focuses on a certain content and/or stylistic direction of future, promising documentary projects. The idea is to analyze, demystify, clarify and explain how and why, and at what price it is best to make a certain type of films. The area of special interest will be defined in advance every year, and in 2023 the focus is on documentaries about the war. The goal of the workshop is an in-depth investigation of the question: How to film a war?

At carefully designed events, participants will exchange knowledge and experience with top experts from the field of documentary filmmaking as well as from other relevant fields. Directors and producers can participate in the programs.

ZagrebDox Pro strives to assist the participants with:

• working individually on developing their projects with renowned documentary film experts
• getting a “second opinion” from experts in the fields not directly connected, but close to documentary filmmaking
• learning through case studies of successful documentaries
• networking with colleagues from different backgrounds
• finding out about the latest technological developments
• promoting their projects during production and upon completion
