MEDIMED will celebrate its 11th edition.

The Euro-Mediterranean Documentary market will return in October 8-10 2010, which will be the 11th edition of the market. This edition will offer a complete roster of networking opportunities, industry conference sessions and market events and services, coupled with the finest in contemporary documentaries from the EU and the Southern Mediterranean countries.
 
The Industry Conference Sessions will explore some of the issues and concerns facing the present and future of documentary and factual producers, sharing a wealth of insight and expertise while gauging the pulse of the industry. This dynamic panels and discussions will provide essential ground rules for emerging and mid-career doc-makers.

Special attention will be given to new formats of documentary production. The use of TIC technologies and mobile phones is changing some traditional ways of filming. An informative session will be dedicated to mobile content and new technologies focused on documentary proposals.

EU programs from countries with a low documentary production capacity will benefit from a new focus on them.

The IV Ahmed Attia's Award for the Dialogue of Cultures will be given to one of the documentaries entered this year in the dedicated section "MEDIMED Ready Made Projects" which shows new productions pitched in previous editions of the forum.

Courtesy of APIMED, the winner will receive a 1.000,00 Euros cash prize, awarded to the producer of the best documentary pitched at MEDIMED.
