DOK Archive Market
On 12 October 2023, we invited accredited festival visitors to meet with international archives at the DOK Archive Market, find out about their footage and stills collections and forge connections with the archive representatives.
The accompanying panel programme presented exciting discussions offering insights into the nuts and bolts of archival research, production and rights clearances.
In one-on-one speed consultations archive researchers and archive producers gave concrete advice on researching and licensing footage for documentary projects.
Archive Producers from the UK, France and Germany discuss the status quo of archival research in their respective countries detailing how the different financing- and production systems impact archive research. The panellists will compare notes on the challenges they are currently facing, especially in the aftermath of the Corona pandemic, and delineate the significance of national and international networks and connections for their work.
Find out what types of professional networks already exist in their countries, how networking processes are organised, what role events like the DOK Archive Market play as meeting places for the industry and how other actors in the industry benefit from the networking of Archive Producers.
