Who we are
The only pitching forum in the Baltics focused solely on documentaries.
This international event for professional documentary filmmakers is the only one of its kind in the Baltics and is held in high regard throughout Eastern Europe. Every year, BSD gathers over 150 professional filmmakers from the Baltic Sea region, as well as from Eastern and Central Europe.
Participating in the forum is an invaluable way for filmmakers to find funding for the production of their projects and to further ensure that their films reach a wide audience across Europe. The forum is held in English and participation is free of charge.
