Sunny Side of the Doc 2022 Experience
After two online editions organised to maintain and strengthen the necessary connections for co-production and distribution deals despite a tense health context, the 33rd edition of Sunny Side of the Doc will finally gather back its international community in real life in La Rochelle.
Let’s get back to the formal and informal conviviality, the presentation breakfasts, the business lunches, the networking happy hours. For those who cannot travel to France due to restrictions, as well as for those who will be on-site, the 2022 edition will offer a digital extension to enrich their experience and benefits as a member of the Sunny Side of the Doc community.
The event platform will be open early June for each attendee to prepare its 4-days market and consult Sunny Side’s official guides. Some highlights of the 2022 “New Voices” programme will be live-streamed and the most coveted sessions will be available for replay for a limited time after the end of the market.
