The call is open to projects from any country, with no national restrictions, and focuses exclusively on non-fiction documentaries. The activity takes place within DocsBarcelona Pro, scheduled from May 9 to 14, 2026. Submissions are accepted from December 9, 2025, until January 30, 2026, which is the final deadline to submit materials.
Participants are expected to provide a preliminary cut of the feature, allowing evaluators to assess the narrative and the project’s final vision, even if it is not fully edited. This is an exclusive opportunity to receive professional feedback and establish strategic connections within the international documentary industry.
