AUTENTIC ANNOUNCES NEW AUTENTIC MATCHMAKING DAY

Munich, 18. December 2025 – Autentic announces the launch of its first Autentic Matchmaking Day, an international pitching event for documentary and factual series and multi-part formats currently in development.

The one-day online event, taking place on 16 June 2026, is designed to connect leading factual producers with broadcasters, platforms and key decision-makers in factual commissioning. The goal of Autentic Matchmaking Day is to actively support documentary projects on their path to commission by bringing together the right financing partners in both established and new constellations to make them happen.

A curated selection of projects will be showcased, each with clear international appeal and strong market potential. For all projects that are realized, international distribution rights will be handled by Autentic. Participation guidelines and the submission timeline will be announced at the end of January 2026.

Alexandra Böhm (Head of International Coproduction at Autentic): “In a time when the factual and documentary sector faces tighter budgets and shrinking commissioning opportunities worldwide, international cooperation has become essential to get projects off the ground. Autentic Matchmaking Day will provide a focused, accessible platform to showcase high-quality, internationally relevant projects. As a distributor with a strong global network, Autentic’s strength lies in strategic matchmaking connecting the right projects with the right partners to maximize co-production opportunities and accelerate the path from idea to commission.”
