Promotion

Events aiming at promoting and disseminating documentaries are very important for they help to develop audiences of all ages. That is why the Documentary Network supports activities such as the RIDM (Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal) — including its Lundis du Doc — and Hot Docs, and struggles to see documentaries better represented in cinema-related events and on the web.

2006-2007

On top of supporting festivals, the Documentary Network intends to lead a study on the pertinence of creating a Documentary Portal. This Portal would include data on every canadian documentary with a link to the copyright holders. It would also have a blog and publish a bulletin, among others. Claire Buffet is in charge of making an exploratory study and providing a framework for the content and interest of creating such Portal.
