The Edinburgh Pitch is an international documentary pitching forum for independent filmmakers and productions companies developing and raising finance for urgent, challenging, engaging authored feature films.
In a supportive lab-like environment, the 12 selected projects will be invited to take part in a preparatory workshop (Monday 12th June) before pitching to an industry panel on Tuesday 13th June and being offered one-to-one meetings the next day (Wednesday 14th June).
The selected project for the Edinburgh Pitch 2023 have now been announced. Read more about them here.
The Edinburgh Pitch is Scotland’s only public pitching forum and the 17th edition will take place in person in Edinburgh.
