DocDay
DocDay is an inspiring, intensive and entertaining day of hands-on workshops, screenings and filmmaking surgeries for A-level and first year university students (or 16-19 year olds) who are making, or want to make, documentaries and could use help from the experts. In 2009, some of the best documentary practitioners from around the UK – directors, producers, editors and commissioners - were there to help with the production process!
The day includes presentations, workshops and a range of leading industry mentors available on the day to help students with their short doc productions, giving feedback, advice and technical assistance. The mentors are a mix of award-winning directors, commissioners, TV executives and other documentary professionals - students will never find this kind of access to industry advice at any other event in the UK.
