DOCUmart will again be a major feature of the 2007 AIDC Marketplace.
DOCUmart gives independent producers an opportunity to gather market intelligence via their unique access to the DOCUmart Panel. The DOCUmart Panel will include leading International and Australian commissioning editors, distributors and program buyers.
DOCUmart SUBMISSIONS CLOSED 11 December 2007
Thank you to all the filmmakers who have submitted their projects to DOCUmart.
This year 70 projects were entered for the DOCUmart. The selection committee selected 15 projects that will be pitched during the DOCUmart on Saturday 24 February 2007. Besides the projects chosen to pitch in DOCUmart, the committee also selected 10 projects that deserve the attention of the potential financiers in more private surroundings.
The quality of the entered projects was high and the committee would like to express its gratitude for the time and effort that was spent on creating and submitting the requested material.
The committee would like to emphasize that selection process was based on subject, creative treatment of the subject and its international appeal. The involvement of broadcasters, funds and other financiers as well as the director’s and producer’s experience only played a role when choices had to be made between projects with the same subject matter.
All selected projects have the full support of the selection committee members.

Derived from the Forum and Hot Docs markets, the DOCUmart is a vital one-day marketplace for documentary content creators. Short-listed projects will be pitched by the respective production teams to a panel of leading international commissioning editors and distributors of documentary programs.
