Works-in-Progress 2027 – 14th edition, 24-25 March 2027

Submissions for ParisDOC Works-in-Progress 2027 will open on 2 November, 2026!
They will close on 21 december, 2026.

ParisDOC Works-in-Progress actively support the distribution, promotion and placement of feature documentaries by linking, at a key stage of the production process, project holders (filmmakers and producers) to industry professionals.

The films in progress are selected according to their stage of production, their needs and potential in terms of diffusion, and their concordance with the editorial line of Cinéma du réel.

The selected films in progress will have the opportunity to be screened, once, in their entirety, between the 2 and 25 March in one of Cinéma du réel’s partner venues in Paris. 

The professional audience is made up of carefully selected French and international experts, playing an active and strategic role in the distribution and placement of new films in the industry: festival programmers, sales agents, TV and VOD programmers, theatrical distributors and exhibitors.

Each screening is followed by a discussion time, which can take the form of an informal meeting.

With a tailor-made offer, ParisDOC Works-in-Progress is a unique opportunity for project holders to reflect and build the path of their film in a favorable environment, and for professionals to have exclusive access to new promising projects.
