The final La Rochelle edition of Sunny Side of the Doc wrapped this week with more than 1,500 documentary creatives and execs in attendance from 55 countries.

Sunny Side of the Doc’s Aurélie Reman and Documentary Campus’s Donata von Perfall tell ScreenMDM Talks about joining forces to bring the beloved La Rochelle event back—and reformatting it for a new era.

Sunny Side of the Doc is back on the 2026 calendar, securing a pact with Documentary Campus to bring the event to La Rochelle from June 22 to 24 in a new format.
