DOC LAB POLAND – the biggest Polish pitching and consultation program for professional documentary filmmakers. The program is divided into two parts: DOC LAB START, for projects in development or at initial shooting stage, and DOC LAB GO, for projects at the editing stage and with first cuts ready. DLP is created by The Władysław Ślesicki Film Foundation, in association with the Krakow Film Festival and in cooperation with DOK Leipzig and European Documentary Network – representatives of these institutions participate in both parts, evaluating the submitted projects and providing consulting for the selected ones. The program is aimed at Polish filmmakers who wish to consult their projects or edit versions with the support of other artists and consultants (renown filmmakers from Poland and abroad) in the search for new solutions and want to present their films to an international group of producers, distributors, representatives of institutions supporting film production, film co financing institutions, major film festival selectors, TV commissioning editors, and others.

The key events of DOC LAB POLAND are DOCS TO START and DOCS TO GO! pitching sessions held at the Krakow Film Festival. DOCS TO START is a presentation of Polish projects in development stage followed by co-production forum: one to one meetings with international decision-makers, and producers who are open to cooperation with Poland. DOCS TO GO! initiated and co organized by Polish Film Institute since 2012 is a presentation of Polish documentary rough cuts followed by meetings with buyers and programmers.
