Sheffield Docfest行业负责人“多个主题,主题,方法和创意风格”
Sheffield DocFest Head of Industry on the ‘Plurality of Themes, Subjects, Approaches and Creative Styles’
在第二年,谢菲尔德Docfest的旗舰投球论坛Meetmarket实际上正在发生。这并没有阻止适用的项目数量:MeetMarket今年已有550多个申请。从其中,MeetMarket选择了55个项目,这些项目将有机会向300多家国际资助者,广播公司,分销商,节日程序员和参展商展示。他们将寻求遵循以前来的高调纪录片的脚步在寻找资金或合作伙伴的同时,通过Meetmarket,包括Malik Bendjelloul的“寻找Sugarman”,Joshua Oppenheimer的“杀人行为”和Nanfu Wang的“一个儿童国家”。SheffieldDocfest的行业负责人Patrick Hurley表示,人们对数字和数量和数量和数量和数量和人数担忧鉴于大流行的背景,今年可能适用的项目的性质。车轮仍会打开准备投球的项目吗?他们会质疑吗?Ely由于旅行禁令和限制而有所不同吗?他们都会与大流行本身有关吗?正如赫利认为,只有1%的人实际上是关于大流行的,并指出了今年脱颖而出的“多个主题,主题,方法和创意风格”。今年的选择还符合MeetMarket展示国际故事的野心。板岩包括31个生产/联合制作国家 - 从阿根廷,到捷克共和国,法国,印度,南非,美国和津巴布韦。在丹麦董事尼尔斯·博尔切特·霍尔姆(Niels Borchert Holm)等项目中,可能会出现头条新闻,以抢夺丹麦董事尼尔斯·博尔赫特(Niels Borchert Holm)的关注。全球足球行业“秘密游戏”,这是由托马斯·冯·斯蒂纳克(Thomas von Steinaecker)执导的Werner Herzog传记片,由安德烈·辛格(AndréSinger)共同制作,以及由“黑力量混合带”导演戈兰·雨果·奥尔斯森(GöranHugo Olsson)的最新文档,名为“以色列和巴勒斯坦”。瑞典电视1959-1989。讲述了马尔科姆X的孙子马尔科姆·沙巴兹(Malcolm Shabazz)的故事,他于2013年在墨西哥被谋杀。首张专辑“它不是从您开始的”,这是亚伯拉罕通过毫不妥协的家庭视频和亲密的视频日记探索的探索,这是她三代家人的共同创伤的持久影响。“叙利亚爱情故事”导演肖恩·麦卡利斯特(Sean McAllister)他的电影“北方灵魂”开幕了2018年的Docfest,也与“也门最后的巡回演出”一起在Meetmarket中。 “可爱和拳击手”和“里根秀”的制作人。玛妮·埃伦·赫兹勒(Marnie Ellen Hertzler)的“永恒的一人”模糊不清,专注于切萨皮克湾的沉没岛。Ketplace计划还包括英国广播生产人才市场,艺术人才市场,行业演讲和不同的音调机会。在谈判中,“超越故事:行业对话”,在工会文档的支持下,将学者,电影制片人召集在一起专员讨论和研究为什么故事已经成为当今纪录片的杰出模式,以及在悠久的结构盛行时丢失的东西。Hurley说这样的会议是一种确保与行业进行有关较少传统纪录片的持续对话的方式formats.mean,尽管惠氏球场(Whickers Pitch)将看到来自世界各地的五位新兴导演将其非小说类项目推向行业法官小组,并有机会赢得令人印象深刻的80,000英镑(114,000美元)的资金奖励,以制作他们的第一张长篇纪录片.docfest在(鸡蛋)Celerator Lab计划上还与鸡肉和鸡蛋图片有合作伙伴关系,重点是识别和支持NonfiCTION导演在其第一张或第二张长度纪录片上工作。它汇集了十个项目,特别关注自我认同的妇女和性别不合格的董事,并看到他们将项目推向国际决策者和行业代表小组。
For the second year running, Sheffield DocFest’s flagship pitching forum MeetMarket is taking place virtually. That’s not holding back the number of projects applying: MeetMarket has had more than 550 applications this year. From these, MeetMarket has selected 55 projects, which will have the chance to present to more than 300 international funders, broadcasters, distributors, festival programmers and exhibitors.
They will be seeking to follow in the footsteps of high-profile documentaries that have previously come through MeetMarket while looking for funding or partners, including Malik Bendjelloul’s “Searching for Sugarman,” Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Act of Killing” and Nanfu Wang’s “One Child Nation.”
Sheffield DocFest head of industry Patrick Hurley says there were concerns about the number and nature of projects that might apply this year, given the background of the pandemic. Would the wheels still be turning on projects preparing to pitch? Would they qualitatively be different because of travel bans and restrictions? Would they all be about the pandemic itself?
As it is, Hurley reckons that only 1% were actually about the pandemic, and points to a “plurality of themes, subjects, approaches and creative styles” that have come to the fore this year.
This year’s selection also fits with MeetMarket’s ambition of showcasing international stories. The slate comprises 31 countries of production/co-production – from Argentina, through to the Czech Republic, France, India, South Africa, to the U.S. and Zimbabwe.
There’s potentially headline grabbing projects such as Danish director Niels Borchert Holm’s focus on corruption in the global soccer industry “A Game of Secrets,” a Werner Herzog biopic directed by Thomas von Steinaecker and co-produced by André Singer, and the latest doc by “The Black Power Mixtape” director Göran Hugo Olsson, titled “Israel and Palestine on Swedish TV 1959-1989.”
Elsewhere, Usayd Younis and Cassie Quarless’ “Malcolm” tells the story of Malcolm Shabazz, the grandson of Malcolm X, who was found murdered in Mexico in 2013. Younis and Quarless’ debut film “Generation Revolution” launched at DocFest back in 2016.
There are personal projects too, such as Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature “It Didn’t Start With You,” which sees Abrahams explore through uncompromising home videos and intimate video diaries the lasting impact of a shared trauma that runs through three generations of her family.
“A Syrian Love Story” director Sean McAllister, whose film “A Northern Soul” opened the 2018 DocFest, is also in MeetMarket with “The Last Tour of Yemen.”
Among U.S. projects, there’s Alex Morelli’s death row documentary “A Good Bad Guy,” which is exec produced by Sierra Pettengill, the producer of “Cutie and the Boxer” and “The Reagan Show.” Marnie Ellen Hertzler’s “Eternity One” blurs fact and fable in focusing on a sinking island in the Chesapeake Bay.
The MeetMarket is just one element of DocFest’s Marketplace program, which also includes the U.K. Broadcast Production Talent Market, the Art Talent Market, industry talks and different pitch opportunities.
Among the talks, “Beyond Story: A Conversation for the Industry,” supported by Union Docs, brings together scholars, filmmakers and commissioners to discuss and examine why story has become today’s pre-eminent mode for documentary and what gets lost when storied structures prevail.
Hurley says a session like this is a way of ensuring that there is an ongoing conversation with the industry about less conventional documentary formats.
Meanwhile, the Whickers Pitch will see five emerging directors from around the world pitch their non-fiction projects to a panel of industry judges with an opportunity to win an impressive £80,000 ($114,000) funding award to make their first feature-length documentary.
DocFest also has a partnership with Chicken & Egg Pictures on the (Egg)celerator Lab program, focused on identifying and supporting nonfiction directors working on their first or second feature-length documentary. It brings together ten projects, with a special focus on self-identifying women and gender nonconforming directors, and sees them pitch their projects to a panel of international decision makers and industry representatives.
