Moderator: Photini Economopoulou, Hellasdoc Representative
In collaboration with Greek Documentary Association (Hellasdoc), we will hold an online interactive webinar aiming at elucidating the American documentary place. American representatives of the documentary market will explore potential US interest for Mediterranean storytelling in general and Greece’s rich historical and cultural themes in particular. The speakers will address current trends in the American nonfiction market and international acquisitions in reference to themes and perspectives that can successfully cross cultural and commercial barriers, offering practical insights on positioning stories as well as building partnerships that strengthen bilateral collaborations. While the panel discussion is designed for documentary creators and producers seeking to enter the American documentary landscape, it will be free and open to students and the general public.
Photini Economopoulou (moderator) is a film producer with a background in Sociology and an MA in European Audiovisual Production Management (MBS, Spain). Founder of Oh My Dog Productions, founding member and former Vice President of the Greek Documentary Association (Hellasdoc), and member of the Greek Film Academy. Recent credits include LENAKI – TWO FIRES AND TWO CURSES (dir. Dimitris Indares) and LAUGHING IN AFGHANISTAN (dir. Annetta Papathanasiou). Her productions have received significant recognition, including ARMWRESTLER (dir. Giorgos Goussis), winner of the IRIS Award for Best Documentary Feature (2023) and three awards at Thessaloniki International Film Festival. The ERT2 series VANLIFE was selected among the top 17 innovative projects at the EBU Creative Forum. She previously spent 12 years at Cinegram, contributing to numerous award-winning films and international cultural productions, and has taught filmmaking seminars and workshops in academic and professional contexts.
