About Nord/Est/Doc/Camp

Nord/Est/Doc/Camp offers a step-by-step program of feedback, networking, and training through its partner festivals. It provides directors and producers, in an informal setting, access to the expertise of carefully selected professionals. Through a series of meetings and workshops, the program aims to help participants maximize the potential of their films in progress. This includes support for editing, post-production, festival strategies, and distribution, with the goal of strengthening the dramaturgy and profile of the works and broadening their dissemination and distribution opportunities.

The program targets documentary and hybrid (non-fiction) films in the editing phase, produced or co-produced by companies based in Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with a final runtime exceeding 45 minutes.

Highlights from Previous Editions

The first two editions featured eight projects, including:

• Lisca bianca – Nata libera by Giuseppe Galante and Giorgia Sciabbica (produced by Ginko Film) and The Other Side of the Pipe by Marko Kumer (produced by Incipit Film), both premiered at the 2023 Visioni dal Mondo festival in Milan.
• Vista mare by Julia Gutweniger and Florian Kofler (produced by Albolina Film), presented at the Locarno Critics’ Week and numerous other international festivals. It won the award for Best Italian Documentary at the Festival dei Popoli and was distributed by Trent Film.

From the 2nd edition, the first project to debut was Noi siamo gli errori che permettono la vostra intelligenza by Erika Rossi (produced by Ghirigori), which won the Audience Award at the 2024 PerSo – Perugia Social Film Festival.

The festival is designed for a broad and diverse audience (it is “audience-oriented”, hosted by a long-standing arthouse cinema), with a thematic focus—though not exclusively—on current affairs, social issues, human rights, and ecology.
