ParisDOC Works-in-Progress actively supports 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 selected films in progress have the opportunity to be screened, once, in their entirety, between the 25 and 26 March at the Cinema La Clef.

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 and theatrical distributors.

Each screening is followed by a discussion time, which may 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 right path for their film in a favorable environment, and for professionals to have exclusive access to new promising projects.

Coup de cœur Orlando x Culori – Post-production support

In order to best support the selected projects, Studio Orlando and Culori are partners of ParisDOC Works-In-Progress. As such, one of the selected projects benefits from post-production support that includes :

  • Culori – Laburatoriu culturali : a film color grading residency, including travel and accommodation expenses for the filmmaker and cinematographer, as well as color grading costs.
  • Studio Orlando : image conforming and master DCP.

Partnership with the Directors’ Fortnight

Projects selected for ParisDOC Works-In-Progress 2026 receive free registration for the Directors’ Fortnight 2026 to be considered by the selection comittee.
