FILMZOOMER- SUBMISSIONS
DOC SUMMIT CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The National Film Board and Hot Docs are now accepting proposals for the 2008 Doc Summit, which will take place on Friday, April 25, during the Hot Docs festival, conference and market.
We are calling on you to submit a short (one-page maximum) vision statement addressing your recommendations, policies or strategies for the Canadian documentary industry.
These statements should focus on preferred and realistic outcomes - rather than existing problems - and identify constructive and realistic solutions (i.e. what will our industry look like when it's working best). Statements might range from practical solutions for copyright issues to policy manifestos toward further building a vibrant documentary culture.
Selected statements will be presented by their authors at the Summit. Each presenter will be allotted 10 minutes to present their ideas, followed by a 15-20 minute moderated 'town hall' discussion. Key industry stakeholders will also be invited to respond to the various proposals.
Please refer to the Doc Summit Call for Proposals for complete submission guidelines and procedures. The deadline to receive submissions is Monday, March 3.
Submit for the 2008 GUCCI TRIBECA DOCMENTARY FUND!

FREE FILMMAKING MASTERCLASS
Free 6 Day Practical Filmmaking Masterclass
Rakhshan Bani- Etemad Masterclass
7 - 12th April 2008
Central London
Admission free
InSight – the London-based training organisation that Shooting People sponsors – is proud to announce that Rakhshan Bani- Etemad, Iran's leading woman filmmaker, will be coming to London in April to lead a free six-day filmmaking masterclass with twelve filmmakers on the subject of an outsider's view of London. The chosen filmmakers will then have the chance to have their films screened at the BFI Southbank as part of the BFI’s Bani-Etemad film season.
