Introducing our 2018 Participants
We’re very excited to introduce the 16 filmmakers who have been selected to attend the first edition of our Global Short Docs Forum!
Global Short Docs Forum (GSDF) is a new initiative connecting filmmakers of documentary shorts with digital platforms.
GSDF hosts 16 filmmakers selected from a global call, to attend a 4-day residential workshop. Filmmakers benefit from invaluable pitching training, mentoring and masterclasses from industry experts and one-to-one meetings with decision makers.
The first edition of the Forum took place at the Frontline Club in London. Platforms taking part in the first edition of the Forum were AJ+, BBC Arabic, BBC Stories, The Guardian, Lush, Zinc, and Zoomin.TV. See the participants for GSDF 2018.
GSDF 2019 will take place in Kiev, Ukraine as part of Docudays UA. Call for Submissions opens in October 2018.
