The call is open to projects from any country, with no national restrictions, and focuses exclusively on non-fiction documentaries. The activity takes place within DocsBarcelona Pro, scheduled from May 9 to 14, 2026. Submissions are accepted from December 9, 2025, until January 30, 2026, which is the final deadline to submit materials.
Participants are expected to provide a preliminary cut of the feature, allowing evaluators to assess the narrative and the project’s final vision, even if it is not fully edited.
