FOCUS OF THE YEAR
DOCS FOR THE FUTURE: Mapping a Sustainable World
The world is facing major challenges: migrations, famine, health, education, gender equality, climate change, rising nationalism, etc. To achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, the United Nations has identified 17 sustainable development goals that go far beyond climate issues alone.
Sunny Side’s Global Pitch aims to continue mobilizing the documentary community around the major issues of our time, so that it can help to be a vector for change. Global Pitch 2024 is therefore intended to be about commitment and mobilization as well as analysis. It is the first part of the 2024 focus, which will look at Mapping the Future of our ecosystem and the documentary genre itself during the 35th edition in La Rochelle.
For more information, consult the Call for Projects.
