(Re)Defining safety in the film industry

Feeling safe or unsafe means different things to different people. "Safe space" has become a buzzword - everyone wants one, claims one, or tries to create one. But what does safety really mean in an industry built on power dynamics and deep-rooted hierarchies, where people from different backgrounds interact in industry platforms, in markets and festivals, in training initiatives or even in the editing room?

We question where responsibility lies and what can institutions do to support safety in all its facets and reduce harm, what are the limits and acceptable risks, how is this responsibility shared and how to harness experience to create safer working environments. Let's unpack this together: share best practices, reflect on individual experiences, explore collective ways forward and learn about #DocSafe - an initiative created to address unsafe practices and foster accountability in the documentary industry.

Speakers: 

Elena Christopoulou Holistic therapist 

Kesmat Elsayed Producer - See Media Production Egypt & Seera Films GmbH

Nora Philippe Head of Program - EURODOC

Moderator: Marion Schmidt Cultural manager & Consultant         

Co-organized with #DocSafe
Supported by Creative Europe Media Desk Greece                                                                                                         

17.00 - 18.30

Doc Together Initiative Launch

Documentary filmmakers often face great challenges in their countries compelling many to relocate to a different country for a number of reasons. Some are targeted due to their political views or aspects of their identity, including ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Others are forced to flee as wars devastate their homelands. At the same time, there are also filmmakers who either choose to or cannot but remain in their countries, navigating challenges and finding ways to create under such difficult circumstances.

The Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival and DOK Leipzig join forces to launch Doc Together, a new initiative which aims to explore how displaced or exiled filmmakers as well as filmmakers working in peril in their home countries can access financing and resources, particularly when they are excluded from national funding opportunities or are unable to access support in their countries of origin. The festivals will host events on the grounds in which these vital discussions will take place and will offer the floor to selected filmmakers to share their works and stories.

Speakers: 

Talal Afifi Director - Sudan Film Factory

Thomas Kaske Producer - Seera Films

Nadja Tennstedt Director - DOK Industry, DOK Leipzig

Angeliki Vergou Head of Agora - Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival

Seeing is No Longer Believing: Why Investigative Docs Matter More Than Ever

We live in the century of information and in a blink of an eye, an unprecedented amount of this information makes countless circles around the globe. Anyone can create and circulate anything. It is increasingly apparent that the mechanisms created to check the facts, stop the spread of lies and disinformation, are becoming scarce. Suddenly, the need for investigative documentaries is more urgent than ever. In this AGORA Talk we will discuss the power of uncovering the truth, the lack of comprehensive and responsible news reporting and why these matters are more crucial than ever for the survival of democracy itself.

Speakers: 

Giorgos Christidis Investigative Journalist - NDR, Guardian, Solomon

Jake Tacchi Producer - BBC Eye Investigations

Corina Petridi Journalist & Data editor - Solomon

Moderator: Brigid O’Shea Director & International Consultant - Documentary Association of Europe (DAE)

DOC COUNSELING

Is an AGORA activity designed for the festival and industry participants. This is a service offered to attending filmmakers providing hands-on 1:1 consultancy sessions on topics such as: festival strategy, documentary funding, creative documentary development, pitching new projects, distribution, Media desk help, TV buys, audience development, production sustainability, among others.

AGORA NETWORKING

Agora, in an ongoing effort to support Greek cinema, organizes consultative meetings for filmmakers with a film in the programme to help connect with Agora's guest professionals to promote their films and create new contacts for the next ones.

DECOMPRESSION ROOM: A space of well-being at Agora

Few people outside the film world understand the immense toll that working in the film industry has on our health - mental, physical and emotional alike. As part of its ongoing and multifaceted support of film professionals, the Agora inaugurates a unique service that is designed to provide an opportunity for people to decompress, gather their thoughts and emotions and/or boost their energy in between meetings, workshops and pitches.The Decompression Room is a space where people can recalibrate in silence, listen to calming music, sounds and meditations or simply rest. There will be customised group sessions (for a limited number of participants) with guided self reflection or movement prompts, as well as tips to improve stress management skills and emotional self-support, facilitated by holistic therapist Elena Christopoulou.

AGORA EXTROVERSION INITIATIVES

Finally, The Thessaloniki Film Festival continues its efforts for the greater extroversion of Greek cinema and its promotion abroad. The Festival gives the opportunity to film professionals from Greece who have participated in the Festival’s industry section, Agora, to travel to important international film festivals, in order to promote their work. The actions are implemented within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” with the funding of the European Union - NextGenerationEU, within the integrated project “SUB 6.3 - Market extroversion of the Thessaloniki Film and Documentary Festival”. The TiDF AGORA is supporting the Greek producers with a project in the Thessaloniki Pitching Forum and Agora Docs in Progress to attend DOK Leipzig Industry and Cannes Docs respectively. The program offers special consultancy sessions with experts and covers the Greek delegation’s expenses for accommodation, travel and accreditation.
