Veteran film director and KSCA
chairman Priyadarshan inaugurated the website of ‘Good Pitch’ which is an
initiative to make a platform of the marketing of documentaries worldwide. This
is the joint venture of Indian Documentary Foundation (IDF), Kerala State
Chalachitra Academy (KSCA) and Film Division. Good Pitch will arrange a
platform for documentary distribution on 23rd February 2014 at
Mumbai International Film Festival.
Sophie Sivaraman, co-founder of
IDF detailed the purpose and functioning of this initiative. She said that this
project can bring previously untapped investment to documentary film making.
Festival artistic director Beena Paul explained about the success of ‘Trigger
Pitch’ which is an ongoing project to promote the documentaries in India only.
Good Pitch is the inspiration of the British Project by channel 4 and Britdoc
of the same name. Sivaraman informed
that the applications for good pitch are open and the documentary makers can
apply online at ‘www.goodpitch.org’. She added that Good Pitch is not for
monetary benefit while it helps documentarians to market their products
efficiently.
