INDIAN DOCUMENTARY PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION SEEKS DEDICATED DOC CHANNEL

 

 

 

IDPA SEEKS SUPPORT FOR DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKERS

 

IDPA is seeking a dedicated documentary channel to reach the public.
“Documentaries are agents of change. The dedicated slot for screening given to the documentary film makers in Doordarshan is a great initiative and opens a world of opportunity for us. We would like a dedicated documentary channel" said Mike Pandey, President of Indian Documentary Producers Association (IDPA), addressing a press conference at the  42nd International Film Festival of India today. Mr Pad=ndey said doc filmmakers need banks to support passionate film-makers with loans and also lower import duties for equipment. "And  from our side, we need to make good, powerful films that have an impact.''


IDPA has entered into an agreement with Doordarshan to telecast award-winning and acclaimed documentaries, short fiction and animation films at prime time. These films will be telecast on Doordarshan channels – the National Channel, DD News, DD Bharati, and the international DD India over five years.  The programmes will be acquired or commissioned by IDPA from independent producers and will deal with a range of social issues. The MoU was facilitated by Information and Broadcasting Minister Smt. Ambika Soni.

 

IDPA is one of the oldest film associations among the 70 plus in India to be set up and has been guided by member filmmakers and producers like Satyajit Ray, Paul Zils, Shyam Benegal, Saeed Akhtar Mirza, and Manmohan Shetty among others.
