Cross-media project market and conference unfolds June 19-20.

Dean Meyers‘s insight:

This 5 year old event, Cross Video Days, which takes place June 19th and 20th in Paris, will feature 59 transmedia projects, out of the 350 submissions from 40 countries.

Representatives from major players in distribution will be pitched, including Channel 4, Arte, Rai, Tribeca Film Institute, IDFA, YouTube/Google, IDFA DocLab and Power to the Pixel (PttP).

Interesting to note that there are a wide variety of documentary subjects, including Korean filmmaker Jero Yun’s ongoing transmedia project with various self-contained pieces with the North and South Korea divide as their subject: Mrs. B. a Woman, The Smuggler (a web documentary), and Secret of My Father, and  Adrift, a multi-platform project revolving around Italian adventurer Alex Bellini’s attempt to survive on an iceberg for 12 months as part of a campaign to draw attention to climate change.
