Online Workshop for Documentary Filmmakers from One World Media

One World Media is offering an online workshop for documentary filmmakers that lasts no more than 30 minutes. To encourage new narratives and underreported stories One World Media is focusing on filmmakers from areas with low production capacity or little global visibility, as well as underrepresented filmmakers in geographical areas of established media production. 

12 filmmakers will be selected to attend a series of online workshops, mentoring, and one-to-one pitches. Selected filmmakers join a supportive environment of international filmmakers coming together to discuss, develop and rework their pitches.

By the end of the Forum, filmmakers will be expected to produce a short-pre-recorded pitch video, including a trailer of their project. These will be shared with platform representatives, in advance of the one-to-one pitching sessions.

• Filmmakers of short documentaries with new and original narratives.
• Open to applications from all over the world, with documentary projects up to 30 mins.
