This year, for the first time, the CBA-DFID Broadcast Media Scheme is offering a travel bursary of up to £8,000 to help one newcomer tell their story from the developing world. Six filmmakers will be challenged to pitch an idea for an innovative short documentary that makes the developing world interesting to UK audiences and offers new perspectives on overlooked or misunderstood stories. They’ll be pitching to some of the top filmmakers and commissioners in the business for the chance to make their film and see it broadcast on the Community Channel.
