The Great Pitch Session

A centrepiece of the program is the History Summit Pitch on Friday, October 27. Producers from all over the world could submit their history project ideas – concepts for films, series, shorts – to be considered for the History Summit Pitch.

We were particularly looking for projects that stand out for:

their fresh perspectives on history,

diversity in front of and behind the camera,

innovative approach,

and/or impact campaign.

A team of international experts selected six projects to be pitched to a panel of key decision makers and an audience of producers and distributors for an opportunity to find partners, funding, and distribution.

The best pitch, as determined by a specialist jury, will receive the History Summit Award and an Audience Award will also be announced.
