Since 2014, Cinéma du Réel has been working with industry professionals to promote the distribution of documentary films and strengthen connections between filmmakers and distributors. During the festival's 36th edition, ParisDOC was created, an event conceived by Maria Bonsanti, Anaïs Desrieux, and the association Les Amis de Cinéma du Réel.
Participants at this two-day event had the opportunity to watch films in post-production, with an additional day dedicated to discussing initiatives aimed at film distribution. The event's purpose, which later evolved into ParisDOC Works-in-Progress and the Public Forum, was clear from the start: rather than simply opening a market, the goal was to address the challenges and issues facing the documentary film industry, foster innovative ideas, and provide professionals with tailored support and guidance.

For the Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival – FICCI, the new talents of the film industry are a central focus of interest.
From this perspective, FICCI 64, with the support of Ibermedia, opens the call for La Residencia FICCI as a program of screenwriting aimed at directors and/or screenwriters from Ibero-America and Italy who have verified experience in short films and are developing their first or second feature-length fiction film.
The objective of La Residencia FICCI is to support participants in the initial phase of writing their feature-length screenplays in order to consolidate their artistic and conceptual proposals. In order to nourish the development stage of the projects, participants will also receive complementary inputs during LA RESIDENCIA FICCI on topics such as audience analysis, financing, marketing possibilities, distribution and circulation of the films, as well as other related topics.
FICCI invites the participation of emerging talents who are immersed in the deep exploration of cinema as an art, whose interest consists in reaching art to its contours, imagining new (or antique) ways and routes of relating to the world. Therefore, FICCI is interested in the multiplicity of ways of understanding and imagining filmmaking.
