Sunny Side of The Doc — the factual-focused market currently holding its 37th edition in La Rochelle from June 22 to June 24, 2026 — is relocating to Strasbourg next year.
France’s National Center for Cinema and the Moving Image (CNC) is backing the new international documentary market in Strasbourg, scheduled for June 2027.
CNC president Gaëtan Bruel said the market will serve as both a major international industry gathering and a forum for addressing institutional issues affecting documentary filmmaking.
Strasbourg was chosen because it is home to key European audiovisual institutions, including Arte, Council of Europe, Eurimages, European Audiovisual Observatory, and the European Parliament.
The 2026 edition of Sunny Side was initially cancelled following the loss of European funding and cuts to financial support, but was later revived with the intervention of the CNC.
