We are pleased to announce that Bridging the Gap 6 is now open for applications, on the theme of 'Future'. Apply Here.
We are looking to develop 12 short documentaries considering the theme of ‘Future' which will be ready to be pitched to a panel of experts on 10 December. The panel will commission 7 projects which will then go through further training. Confirmed tutors this year include Marc Isaacs and US story consultant Fernanda Rossi. Delivery of the final projects will be on 6 April 2009. We are looking for strong visual ideas with cinematic scope. You can now watch past films on www.docscene.org.
This scheme is open to all filmmakers based in the UK, and particularly aims to bridge the gap between training/graduation and a first broadcast, and those filmmakers who have not made documentaries for the big screen. We are especially interested in filmmakers from diverse and under-represented backgrounds, and would like to encourage Scottish stories too. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from students in full time education.
SDI welcomes applications from producers without a project. Selected producers will be able to attend selected development workshops and are free to network with the directors for possible collaboration.
Free Public Masterclasses kick off on Fri 17 October 2008, 2pm at eca
For those of you who do not have a project in mind but are still looking to improve your skills please note that throughout the year we will be hosting a number of masterclasses by internationally recognised speakers and filmmakers from the industry. These free of charge and are open to everybody.
For details of masterclasses, please check our website nearer the time.
We're also hosting Outreach Workshops in Inverness (18 Sept) Manchester (19 Sept), Norwich (19 Sept) & Nottingham (18 Sept) next week - details here.
We look forward to hearing from you.
TEAM SDI.
