 Participate in MIPDOC April 1-2, 2006 with US Independents MIPDOC is two days of buyer screenings of documentary, factual and educational programs just prior to the MIPTV market. A digital library is set up in the Carlton Hotel and more than 300 key international, specialized buyers attend. A suite of viewing computers is reserved for them to sample the on-line library of programs presented by producers and distributors. Every time a buyer logs onto a given program, data is collected on the fact that they viewed it, their contact information and if they shared a response -- are they interested or not in possible acquisition. This data is then available to producers for follow-up. Buyers appreciate MIPDOC because they can sit and screen on their own timetable, and they know the status of a given program or series, i.e. is it finished and ready for acquisition or only in pilot form. The MIPDOC Programme Catalogue, including a 4-color photograph from your production and a 70-word synopsis, is mailed to buyers two weeks prior to the event. Programme categories include Archives/Footage; Adventure & Travel; Art, Music & Culture; Current Affairs; Docu-Drama; Docu-Soap; Ethnology/Sociology; Nature & Wildlife; Educational; History& Civilization; Lifestyle; Personal Viewpoint; Science & Technology. Requirements: A signed US Independents' participation agreement plus: Programme Registration Questionnaire (in triplicate); 70-word program synopsis (in duplicate); two (2) 4x6 color photo prints of the same image (no slides, no disks, no e-mails); 1 DVD-ROM format MPEG-2 only (see technical specifications for more information). DVD must accompany the print materials. Special arrangements must be made for you to collect the DVD at the conclusion of MIPDOC, as they will not be returned. Benefits: You will receive a detailed list of buyers who have viewed your tape, including full contact information and their level of interest for targeted follow-up. Deadline: All materials must arrive in France by February 9, 2006. You are responsible for shipping completed forms, DVDs, and photos. To ensure prompt delivery, please use a shipping company that will provide tracking and record of delivery.
