Every year, more than 300 TV buyers, sales agents, distributors and festival scouts descend on Arti et Amicitiae on one of Amsterdam’s busiest thoroughfares to watch a wide selection of documentaries available to the international market. Variety sat down with Docs For Sale manager Laurien ten Houten to discuss the enterprise and what it means for artists and buyers alike.
In a nutshell, what is Docs For Sale?
Very simply, Docs For Sale is a video library, and we have 55 screening booths and a little over 430 films, of which over 130 are Idfa-selected. On the one hand, we have the people who want to sell the films, the producers and the sales agents, and on the other hand, we have the people who want to acquire those films, whether it’s television buyers, sales agents who want to extend their catalog, or festivals wanting to show the film in their program.
