The best independent films of the year are shown at this festival, selected by a pre-jury.

Participation at all programs is free.

The i_doc workshop is one of the very few new training programmes selected in 2013 by European Union’s MEDIA Programme to support audiovisual professionals in the development of innovative and competitive projects. The 2013 i_doc workshop aims to enabling European professionals to seize some opportunities and challenges of the currently unfolding audiovisual trends by equipping its participants with precise, comprehensive and practical skills and knowledge in developing, producing, financing and distributing interactive documentaries and transmedia nonfiction projects. Through lectures, case-study presentations and panels with established authors, producers and notable interaction design pioneers, the participants will become familiar with the new challenges and opportunities that digital storytelling is promoting into the film and audiovisual creative industry. The workshop is also project-oriented: over the five-day workshop participants enrolled with a project will apply the skills and methods while they are learning them in the practical development of a working-concept for a nonfiction project developing a non-linear storytelling and intending to integrate extensively, at different stages of the project, the new potential of digital technologies, an active user participation, and a transmedia approach across multiple media, in particular through the web, tablet computers or other mobile devices. Through a Development Lab – featuring project-led group work, personalized coaching and a final public pitch session – the key elements of the participants’ projects will be discussed with the trainers, experts, and European decision makers, getting the best advantage in terms of content development, planning of the audience experience, interaction design, funding strategy and professional networking. Participants will thus be accompanied in the definition and refining of a first working concept which will be able to be professionally put into further development or pre-production. The workshop runs parallel to the DOCM at Visions du Réel which takes place from the 19th to 26th of April 2013 in Nyon, Switzerland. The i_doc workshop’s panel and the final public pitch session will take place as part of the DOCM activities. Also, the workshop participants are invited to attend other DOCM and Festival events, see website www.visionsdureel.ch. The workshop is open to 20 participants (10 with projects -also in team -, and 10 observers) and targets scriptwriters, filmmakers, directors, producers, new media content creators, advertising executives, video-journalists and interaction designers.
