Pitch
Der PROGRESS History Summit Pitch - The Great Pitch Session
Der einzige Branchen-Event, der sich ausschließlich der Geschichts-Medienproduktion widmet!
Der History Summit Pitch am Freitag, den 27. Oktober, war ein zentraler Programmpunkt. Produzent:innen aus der ganzen Welt haben ihre Ideen eingereicht für:
- Konzepte für Filme, Serien und Shorts
Wir haben insbesondere Projekte gesucht, die sich auszeichnen durch:
- Eine ungewöhnliche, historische Perspektive
- Diversity vor und hinter der Kamera
- Und/ oder einen innovativen Ansatz zum Thema Geschichte
Die Auswahl von den nachstehenden sechs Projekten traf ein internationales Expertenteam.
Diese Projekte pitchten vor einem internationalen Fachpublikum und konnten so neue Partner und Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten finden. Über den besten Pitch, der den History Summit Award erhält, entschied eine Fachjury.

Since it appeared, at the turn of the 20th century, professional boxing has been much more than a mere question of blows and dodges. It’s been a story of life and death, an issue of politics, of race and pride. And above all, a matter of skin color. One fight summarized it all: Holmes vs Cooney in 1982.
