NIUDOC 2026 – Where Stories Begin!

NIUDOC offers young talent the opportunity to present original documentary ideas through pitching and one-on-one meetings with producers from the Northeast and the Balkans. Selected projects will follow online mentoring (April-July) to develop idea, pitch deck and teaser, leading up to the final presentation at Lago Film Fest.

The initiative promotes and enhances cross-border collaboration, ensuring exchange between emerging and professional voices in the field. Up for grabs are in-kind prizes including equipment rental (Cinema Rental), DCP (KublaiFilm), distribution on ZaLab View, #DocsConnect Taskovski Training Award and Impronta Films Consultancy Award.
