Our Mission

Baltic to Black Sea Documentary Network - B2B Doc - is an informal co-production platform for filmmakers living and working in the countries between the Baltic Sea in the North and the Black Sea in the South. B2B Doc is a place where inexperienced filmmakers meet experienced professionals from the documentary film industry to exchange knowledge and bring documentary stories to the international market together, in co-production.

  • B2B Doc is a tutor: we help filmmakers professionally to develop their film projects, so they can reach the market;

  • B2B Doc is a match-maker: we help filmmakers find colleagues from other countries, who are looking for inspiring and powerful stories or who need support from someone with production experience;

  • B2B Doc is a financier: if a filmmaker has been trained and supported by us and his/her film has been selected by a major co-production market or pitching session, filmmakers may apply to us for travel grants to attend these events.

  • B2B Doc is NOT a production company: our filmmakers have to be able to run their film productions independently but we can help find a production partner;

  • B2B Doc is NOT a film fund: we are not funding productions but we can lead filmmakers to existing financial opportunities and inform how to use them;

  • B2B Doc is NOT a commercial body: we don’t charge for membership fees nor for our services - we are simply happy to contribute to making qualitative films that reach out to the public!
