Bio to B is a business-to-business networking event for industry professionals, which aims to support European documentary and fiction biopic productions.
It is an excellent opportunity to present your documentary or biopic, in production or rough cut, to a jury and to an audience of international sales agents, festival directors, commissioning editors, producers and accredited industry.
The sixth edition of Bio To B will take place June 13th – 15th 2019 in Bologna, during Biografilm Festival. During three days of networking, European cinema professionals will have the opportunity to meet, discuss and promote their respective work within an international context. Over the course of the event, there will be pitching sessions, panels, talks and the opportunity to set up one-to-one meetings. Bio To B is characterized by the presence of established film professionals: representatives from international sales companies, a selection of European distributors, international festival directors and programmers, commissioning editors and representatives from the major national TV channels of films and documentaries.
