Industry talk: 7 years Ket & Doc - looking back, looking forward

We look back on seven years of Ket & Doc, with our eyes on the future! During this annual debate, we zoom in on youth documentaries and their countless possibilities.

Come to the Industry Talk during the Antwerp Youth Film Festival and look back on seven years of Ket & Doc. This project by VAF, KETNET and JEF supports the production and presentation of short youth documentaries every year.

During the talk, we will analyse festival selections, special screenings, international collaborations and impact projects. After all, many Ket & Doc films have followed an inspiring trajectory that can serve as an example. Previous Ket & Doc participants will be here to tell us more about this.

Speakers:

• Lauranne Van den Heede (director of Radio Felix - Ket & Doc 2020)
• Sarah Lederman (director of Licht - Ket & Doc 2022)
• Jip Heijenga (director of Leonie, Skeet en de biggen - Ket & Doc 2023)
• Martijn D'haene (documentary maker and founder of production company Het Peloton - Hannah & De Krokodil - Ket & Doc 2024)

Afterwards, director and film lecturer Martijn Blekendaal (guest lecturer at the Netherlands Film Academy, researcher and director of, among other things, the youth documentary The Invisible Ones) will tell us all about the latest version of his manifesto on youth documentaries. The future is full of possibilities!

After the panel discussion (17.00 to 18.30), attendees are invited to an industry dinner, with attendees from the youth film and culture sector.
