Since 2014, Cinéma du Réel has been working with industry professionals to promote the distribution of documentary films and strengthen connections between filmmakers and distributors. During the festival's 36th edition, ParisDOC was created, an event conceived by Maria Bonsanti, Anaïs Desrieux, and the association Les Amis de Cinéma du Réel.
Participants at this two-day event had the opportunity to watch films in post-production, with an additional day dedicated to discussing initiatives aimed at film distribution. The event's purpose, which later evolved into ParisDOC Works-in-Progress and the Public Forum, was clear from the start: rather than simply opening a market, the goal was to address the challenges and issues facing the documentary film industry, foster innovative ideas, and provide professionals with tailored support and guidance.
