Sunny Side Exhibition Space Nearly Sold Out

Sunny Side of the Doc, which is entering the final weeks of its call for projects, has nearly sold out the exhibitor hall for its in-person market in La Rochelle, France, taking place from June 20 to 23.

Three months before the event, there are more than 60 confirmed exhibitors from more than 20 countries and more than 20 international delegations, representing around 350 companies. The 2022 edition will offer a digital extension for those who cannot travel to France due to restrictions, as well as for those who will be on-site.

Among the participating companies are: AP Archive (U.K.); ARTE France (France); Chiledoc (Chile); Doc/it—Italian Documentary Association (Italy); Film Fund Luxembourg (Luxembourg); FOCAL International (UK); France Télévisions (France); Gaumont Pathé Archives (France); German Films (Germany); ICEX—España Exportación e Inversiones (Spain); IDF—Institute of Documentary Film (Czech Republic); Mediawan (France); ORF-Enterprise (Austria); PBS International (U.S.); Polish Docs (Poland); RTS – Radio télévision suisse (Switzerland); Telefilm Canada / SODEC / XN Québec (Canada); UNIFRANCE (France); and Wallonie Bruxelles Images (Belgium).

The digital event platform will be open from early June for each attendee to prepare its four-day agenda at the market and consult Sunny Side’s official guides. Some highlights of the 2022 New Voices program will be live-streamed, and many sessions will be available for replay for a limited time after the end of the market.

Projects can be submitted before April 7 to one of the Sunny Side of the Doc’s pitching sessions. Filmmakers, producers, digital creators, game and interactive designers can apply.
