Open Calls for Bio to B - Industry Days, June 8-10 in Bologna

The new edition of Bio to B - Industry Days | Doc, the documentary industry event held by the Bologna Biografilm Festival, returns from June 8 to 10, 2026. This annual event offers opportunities for sales, options, purchases, networking, updates, and training.

Three days dedicated to the production and culture of European documentary films, with training sessions, international meetings, and new creative perspectives. Above all, it features training and development programs for documentary projects in various stages of production and seeking co-productions. In addition to the well-established Pitching Forum, the market will also feature the presentation of other projects in new formats in 2026.

Specifically, these include:

Pitching Forum – dedicated to Italian and European projects at any stage of production. Deadline: March 15

Past Forward - Archive Film Lab (in collaboration with Archivio Aperto) – dedicated to films featuring the creative reuse of archive material. Deadline: March 1

Development Room – dedicated to early-stage projects. Deadline: March 1

Two additional formats are also being developed: Docs4Real - Nuovi sguardi sul territorio, in collaboration with the Bellaria Film Festival, dedicated to projects by authors under 35 with strong ties to Emilia Romagna, and the Co-production Corner, a space dedicated to launching co-productions with Italy and aimed at European producers.
