DMZ Docs Industry was established to develop, support, and promote outstanding documentary projects in Korea and Asia. In 2025, DMZ Docs Industry increased the size and reach of its support by diversifying its partnerships. In addition to ICHCAP's ongoing support of intangible cultural heritage initiatives to advance cultural diversity and sustainable development, the recently established "Newstapa X DMZ Docs Asia Fund" will provide funding to Asian independent projects that address social agendas and issues in Asia. DMZ Docs Industry will make every effort to assist documentary producers who, in spite of the challenging conditions, are creating significant works.
* The ‘2025 DMZ Docs Industry Pitch’ will be held from September 11 to 17, 2025, during the 17th DMZ International Documentary Film Festival
* The 'Netherlands-Korea Co-production Funds' call for entry will be announced in early June.
