For its second edition, the ‘A Window on the World – Images from Reality’ International Documentary Festival, which will be held from 5 to 9 October 2016, will feature a new industry section: Visioni Incontra, dedicated to Italian work-in-progress documentary projects. 

Organised in partnership with the Lombardy Film Commission, the new section will select Italian documentary films currently being made, with a particular emphasis on contemporary reality, presenting them in a pitching session to an audience of industry professionals made up of television commissioning editors, distributors, independent producers, sales agents, directors and organisers of Italian and international festivals, and making individual appointments with each of these. Visioni Incontra will also provide an opportunity to explore the audiovisual scene through round tables and presentations.
