What do you expect of the East Doc Platform?:
POV looks at films primarily for acquisition, but it is important we hear about titles early on and check back in with producers who we are tracking. We've seen great work come from IDF in the past, and we're back again to look for more films that fit POV's identity: authored films with a vision, strong central characters, and those which help to put a human face on contemporary social issues.
