Doc Circuit Montréal (DCM) is pleased to launch the URBANIA Mobile Pitch today.

DCM is also taking this opportunity to announce the influential Quebec’s decision makers who have confirmed their attendance and the sale of passes for the 13^th annual DCM.

URBANIA MOBILE PITCH

Doc Circuit Montréal, in partnership with URBANIA, is seeking Quebec-based directors to propose short documentary projects for release on mobile platforms. The URBANIA Mobile Pitch will be held during Doc Circuit Montréal, from November 11 to 15 this year. Participants will compete for the URBANIA award, including $3000 in cash, $1500 worth of equipment rentals courtesy of SLA Location and $1500 in post-production services provided by Plasma, for a total of $6000. 

Through a range of different forms of expression, such as vertical and/or horizontal videos, sounds, text, statistics, animated images, illustrations and audio, participants will reflect on the mobile format and its impact on users. The winning documentary project will be released on the navigation platform developed by URBANIA.

The project is designed to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and the erosion of barriers between genres.
