Korean Pitching Day: Hear K-Documentary's live story!
The South Korean Delegation returns to IDFA with eight projects, out of which one will receive the Sunny Side of the Doc Award, and will be the host of the K-DOC Night party and breakfast meetings at Felix Meritis.
South Korea Delegation has been coming to IDFA since 2013, and this year it is led by the Korea Communication Agency (KCA), with support from EBS International Documentary Festival (EIDF) and Korea Radio Promotion Association (RAPA), key supporter of Global Pitching Academy, a six-week training program that introduces emerging producers and directors to the international documentary scene.
Eight projects will be presented on the Korean Pitching Day, on November 11 from 14:30–17:00 in the Plein Foyer of International Theater Amsterdam, including Aboozar Amini's Kabul, Year Zero, which is also taking part in IDFA Forum.
