Interview with Yianna Sarri, Head of the Doc Market

What's new in the market this year?

The big difference this year is that all the documentaries are digitalised now, so all the buyers but also the press and the guests can see the documentary films anytime they want in individual rooms. Priority given to the buyers of course!

There are 479 documentaries available in the market, both from the festival's selection and other documentary films from major production companies, with more than 60 interested buyers.  This year, 20 new buyers from Europe, the United States and Canada came to Thessaloniki, whereas people from major broadcasting channels, such as Canal+, Alejeziras, Arte, Catalunya TV, and ERT, continue to come.  The most important thing is to help the Greek audience see documentaries from abroad, as well as distribute, promote and sell our own productions.

Documentary films are little shown on Greek TV.  They are only broadcasted on ERT, the Greek public TV, and a private channel, SKAI. Having said that, Mega channel also broadcasts some documentaries, but they have their own production. One of them was in the festival's selection : War Zone : The Miracle.

vent de liberté

Ici il paraît que la loi est la même que dans le reste de l'Europe. Interdiction defumer dans les lieux publics mais les grecs n'appliquent pas la loi de la mêmemanière et j'avoue, c'est bien agréable. En plus des films que l'on voit, du soleilqui baigne la grande place, des cafés frappés tellement mousseux, c'est undélicieux vent de liberté qui flotte sur la ville. Des petits plaisirs oubliéschez nous depuis un moment comme d'entrer dans un café avec une cigarette à lamain, de boire un verre de vin sans aller fumer en vitesse devant le bar, d'allumer sa clope à la findu dîner au restaurant. Quel luxe ! Bon pour la salle de presse on a unpetit balcon pour ça, en plein soleil. C'est bien aussi, cela nous permet dedécrocher quelques instants de nos écrans, d'assister du premier étage àl'animation grandissante sur la place de Thessalonique, de voir la mer qui està 150 mètres. A part ce la le seul endroit où l'interdiction de fumer est formelle, c'est dans les salles de cinéma. Pour nous en avertir, voici comment ils ont illustré ces consignes.

Ce soir, palmarès du Festival à 20h30 et Bamboula...yes !
