Docs-in-Progress

Join us for a series of 8 showcases of docs-in-progress from around the world, for a grand total of 32 exciting creative documentary projects ready to be scouted.

Each year, Cannes Docs partners with a number of institutions and organizations from different parts of the world to showcase curated selections of docs-in-progress in stages of editing or post-production and aiming to hit the circuit within a few weeks or months.

These showcases of docs-in-progress are primarily designed for doc professionals and experts looking for fresh new titles, in particular festival programmers and sales agents. The projects are also generally in search of post-production support, gap financing, strategical feedback, and sometimes still open to co-production opportunities.

All the showcases are composed of four projects, each presented in the form of a pitch and a 10-minute excerpt of the rough cut.

Join us in April for the reveal of the 2025 presenting partners and selected projects!
