Development Room is a working space dedicated to the creative development of documentary projects at an early stage. It is neither a pitching forum nor a traditional development lab, but an open environment for discussion where authors can question their projects, explore new narrative directions and engage with lateral and unconventional perspectives. The programme is led by tutor Camilla Martini, together with three advisors from the cultural field, who accompany the selected projects up to the public session held during Bio to B – Industry Days | Doc.
Call opening: February 4, 2026
Call deadline: March 1, 2026
Free application, subject to selection
To apply, candidates must fill in the online form (the format is in Italian) and submit the required materials, as specified in the official call.
Three projects will be selected based on their artistic value, the quality of the submitted materials and their suitability for the format. Selected participants will take part in two online preparatory meetings and in the public Development Room session in Bologna. The programme includes one Bio to B | Doc accreditation, access to networking activities and one accreditation to attend the screenings of Biografilm.
