The Good Media Pitch

12 Jun, 2025, 10.00 AM @ Atelier Gardens

Event language: English

In times of fake news and disinformation, documentary films play a crucial role in shedding light on complex realities, challenging dominant narratives, and sparking public discourse. The Good Media Lab and The Good Media Pitch aim to amplify the visibility and reach of documentary formats in Germany and to establish them as powerful tools for social change.

At The Good Media Pitch, bold projects with a clear vision present their strategies to potential partners from media, politics, business, and civil society. These presentations are not just about showcasing stories – they’re about building momentum. Each project comes with an impact campaign and a carefully developed distribution strategy that reaches far beyond the screen. The goal: to foster long-term partnerships that bring these ideas to life. In focused Round Tables, selected projects work hands-on with newly gained allies to shape meaningful collaborations.

Join us to discover these outstanding projects, connect with changemakers, offer your support – and learn more about the power and practice of impact producing.
