Dear documentary friends,

The SEED catalogue is in your hands for the fourth time, with an aim to help you on your search through the vibrant documentary productions of Southeast Europe.

This is one of the initiatives where several countries joined together to promote their films on the wider international market and to draw your attention to brand new documentaries as well as those that will start their life very soon.

This catalogue contains long list of recently finished feature and short documentaries, fresh enough to enrich your next festival edition, or feature films about to be finished in the next 12 months, so you can count on them. ‘Films in development’ are inviting you to start a possible co-operation with local producers and help bringing fascinating stories to your audience. If you are a filmmaker, feel free to browse through the additional list of documentary and major documentary film festivals where you can apply with your new works.

Thanks to a close co-operation with the DOK Leipzig, during the festival, you will be able to watch some of the SEED films in the video library and also to hang out with us.

We wish you another great documentary year!

Yours truly,

SEED team
