During a panel at the CPH:CONFERENCE, Andreas Dalsgaard (Elk Film), Barbara Truyen (EPIC Docs), and Jon-Sesrie Goff (Ford Foundation/JustFilms) discussed the structural crisis in documentary financing, with Goff emphasizing that the loss of CPB funding in the US cannot be compensated for by philanthropy. In the Netherlands, broadcaster funding for documentaries has already fallen by 20%, while territorial rights structures hinder international sales, as Dalsgaard illustrated with his Sundance series The Oligarch and the Art Dealer. Truyen advocated for shared responsibility among all stakeholders at a single joint documentary table, similar to how Creative Europe, Eurimages, and the EBU already pool their resources for fiction series.
