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.

PARIS DOC
The Málaga Film Festival celebrates the eighth edition of Málaga Work in Progress, highlighting its commitment to the diversity of identities and languages within the Ibero-American region and its audiovisual industry. Its goal is to continue supporting the development of projects by creators from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
Málaga Work in Progress consists of two distinct initiatives, tailored to meet the specific needs of the participating films and their creators. Both are designed to support the completion of fiction and documentary feature films in advanced editing or first cut stages, seeking incentives for the post-production process and international distribution.
Málaga WIP España, featuring six titles of Spanish nationality.
Málaga WIP Iberoamérica, featuring six titles from Ibero-America (Latin America and Portugal).
Audiovisual works must be registered with the Film Institute or equivalent organizations in their country of origin, whether these are industry guilds or other officially recognized entities.

Málaga - WIP
Ibermedia promotes the distribution and circulation of non-national films from Ibero-American cinemas within the national territories of distribution companies. This is achieved through proposals that implement traditional, non-traditional, or hybrid distribution and exhibition models, incorporating innovative and creative forms of in-person distribution and/or exhibition. These proposals must also include a promotion and audience plan, aiming to bring Ibero-American cinema closer to regional audiences.

Los cineastas necesitan recursos, oportunidades y acceso para prosperar en un panorama cinematográfico desequilibrado. Por eso, combinamos subvenciones estratégicamente programadas con tutoría creativa y comunidad, creando redes de pares y reuniendo a los artistas para que aprendan y se apoyen mutuamente. Este sistema de apoyo está diseñado para los desafíos únicos que experimentan las mujeres y las personas de género expansivo en sus trayectorias cinematográficas y profesionales. Desde nuestra fundación, Chicken & Egg Films ha otorgado más de 14 millones de dólares en subvenciones y ha dedicado miles de horas de tutoría creativa a más de 500 cineastas de todo el mundo. Las películas apoyadas por nuestro trabajo han sido reconocidas a nivel nacional e internacional con los más altos honores de la industria, incluidos los Premios de la Academia, los Premios Emmy y los Premios Peabody. Y han aumentado la visibilidad e impulsado el cambio social en cuestiones urgentes.
