Reflection and Consultation

The Documentary Network is a unique and privileged place for discussion, exchange of information, and for coordinating actions in favor of documentary film. Reflection and consultation certainly are the principal mandate of the organization and its best accomplishment. Since this year, distribution and broadcasting are represented at the Documentary Network Board, contributing to the debates and analyses.

2005-2006

During the year 2005-2006, the Board held eleven regular meetings and a one day orientation meeting in September 2005 called Let’s imagine the future: What would be the ideal situation for documentary? To these should be added the Annual General Meeting.

Moreover, the Documentary Network participated in meetings of the Consultative Group on Documentary Policies conducted by NFB, Telefilm and the CTF and of its sub-committee for the socio-cultural impact of documentary; this, with the intention of having the associations’ voices heard by the institutions and the government.

2006-2007

The Documentary Network intends to maintain its monthly meetings in order to increase the discussion, the exchange of information and the collective actions for the future of documentary.

The Documentary Network will continue to participate in the works of the Consultative Group on Documentary Policies and to those of the sub-committee for socio-cultural impact, so that its members’ points of view are expressed to the concerned institutions.
