CinéDOC-Tbilisi announces an open call for Civil Pitch 2020 – a unique opportunity for creative collaborations between Georgian filmmakers and civil society representatives. The project is designed to connect filmmakers and non-governmental organizations in order to turn the public’s attention towards relevant issues that are often left in the shadow.

The winners of Civil Pitch 2020 will finalize their film projects - creative documentary films with a duration of 10 to 15 minutes - by December 20, 2020.
The training will be conducted in English, hence, high proficiency in English is required.
