The eurasiadoc program
List of countries concerned
Launched in November 2011, thanks to the support of the European Union and the Rhône-Alpes Region, the Eurasiadoc programme was first implemented in the Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia from 2012 to 2014, before focusing on Armenia, Georgia and Turkey. In 2018, the programme expanded to a wider Eurasian area by renewing ties with Russia while integrating Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. This dynamic has made it possible to create or strengthen several local structures that have become regular partners of the programme over the years, including the Siberian Studio of Independent Cinema in Krasnoyarsk (Russia), Opyodoc (Georgia), IFCA – Independent Filmmakers Community of Armenia, Creative Lab (Ukraine) and FilmAmed – Diyarbakir Documentary Film Festival (Turkey).
Each year, Eurasiadoc relies on:
- national or regional workshops dedicated to writing and developing creative documentary film projects.
- international co-production forums that envisage committing the films developed in the workshops to a production via a network of partners in the relevant countries as well as throughout Western Europe.
Since its creation, Eurasiadoc has organized 27 writing workshops in 6 different countries and 8 International Co-production Meetings in Armenia. 61 films have been produced from 2011 to 2024.
Workshops were held in 2023 in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan and Eurasiadoc co-production meetings took place in Almaty, Kazakhstan in June 2024.
