Global Short Docs Forum (GSDF) is a new initiative connecting filmmakers of documentary shorts with digital platforms.
GSDF will host 16 filmmakers selected from a global call, to attend a 4-day residential workshop at the Frontline Club in London. Filmmakers will benefit from invaluable pitching training, mentoring and masterclasses from industry experts and one-to-one meetings with decision makers.
Platforms participating in the first edition of the Forum are AJ+, BBC Arabic, BBC Stories, The Guardian, Lush, Zinc, and Zoomin.TV.
Call for applications is now CLOSED.
