eurodoc-2010-iii Event start date:09.20.10

EURODOC was designed to provide European documentary producers with a specific training structure. Producing quality creative documentaries requires increasingly more funding which is proving difficult to find at national levels whatever the size of the country. Things are moving fast, very fast. Constant training remains vital.

EURODOC is a strong, influent and united network. This has certainly been indispensable in enabling it to cope with rapid changes in the documentary sector.

In 10 years, EURODOC has received more than 520 professionals from 42 countries, both participants and training experts.
More than 130 films have been delivered and almost thirty more are currently in production.

Since the creation of the programme, our objectives have remained the same: to improve the trans-national circulation of documentary films and to strengthen the international development of small and medium-sized companies in the sector.

  Link   Why Poverty? UK Shorts
why-poverty-uk-shorts Deadline - Oct 11 2010

Mosaic Films has partnered with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, BBC Storyville, STEPS International and Sheffield Doc/Fest to produce three short (6-10 minute) films exploring issues surrounding poverty in the UK. We are launching an open call for proposals from documentary directors with a proven track record in delivering films to a broadcast standard. A shortlist of six filmmakers will be invited to pitch their films during Sheffield Doc/Fest 2010 (3rd - 7th November). The films will screen as part of Storyville's Why Poverty? season: a groundbreaking global cross media project launching in 2012 that asks why, in the 21st century, a billion people still live in poverty, and informs audiences across the world what they can do about it. They'll also premiere as part of a special session at Sheffield Doc/Fest in June 2011. The films are produced with the support of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), an endowed charity that funds a large, UK-wide research and development programme. JRF seeks to understand the root causes of social problems, to identify ways of overcoming them, and to show how social needs can be met in practice.
