The inaugural MIPDOC screenings will present 10-15 minute excerpts of each title to give buyers an exclusive first look at the programs. The final selection was curated by a jury of genre experts, (including executives from PBS Distribution, American Public Television and ITV Studios) from over 70 submissions received from 21 countries.
The MIPDOC screenings will take place as part of the new Pre-MIPTV ‘Super Sunday’ program from 3:30 pm on April 16 in the Debussy Theater of the Palais, followed by the MIPDOC opening party in partnership with Paramount Global Content Distribution.
MIPDOC’s expanded footprint for 2023 also includes the return of the MIPDOC Screenings Library (open in advance for online screenings and with a dedicated space on Level 3 of the Palais des Festivals), along with the build out of a MIPDOC & MIPFORMATS Producers Hub and Lounge in the Riviera Hall of the Palais, both open from Sunday morning to all MIPTV badge holders.
