PDF On 1st March 2012, Asia Documentary Network (ADN) is replacing Europe Asia Documentary network (EADn) which has been created in June 2010 by a group of 20 doc players (directors, producers, distributors and broadcasters) from Europe and Asia.

As a cooperative platform, ADN focuses on 4 objectives :

• Create a permanent network of independent documentary producers and directors who are interested in producing doc films about Asia-Pacific area
• Increase the visibility of Asian documentary production in the rest of the world
• Offer training and support for the new generation of Asian doc producers
ADN will be organized in 4 groups :
- Science, wildlife & environment

Several companies and institutions have accepted to be partners of EADN.
