CIRCLE Women Doc Accelerator is seeking 10 women and non-binary filmmakers (directors or producers) with creative documentary projects at any stage of development to apply for the upcoming (seventh) edition of the program.
“Selected participants will have the opportunity to advance their films with a carefully-curated constellation of experts in the documentary field and become part of a network they can count on throughout their careers. Focusing on both professional and personal growth, CIRCLE is an initiative crafted by filmmakers, for filmmakers, which guides them through their creative journeys and connects them to the European and international documentary film landscape,” write organisers.
The workshop is conducted through three onsite working modules, taking place in three different countries, as well as intensive online sessions. “CIRCLE drives project growth, while placing an emphasis on knowledge-sharing and honing of key skills, all the more by connecting participants of the program with the rest of the film industry and giving them access to world-renowned mentors,” write organisers.
Each of the three modules focuses on a different crucial aspect of project development. Module 01, taking place in Greece in June 2024, centers around creative development and in-depth analysis of the projects. During Module 02 (Serbia, September 2024), the participants will work on their project packaging & strategic positioning. To conclude the program, participants will have the opportunity to present their projects to potential collaborators and decision makers during Module 03, taking place at the When East Meets West co-production market in Trieste, Italy in January 2025.
CIRCLE invites applications from women and non-binary filmmakers (directors or producers) with strong creative documentary projects in any stage of development. Applications are open until February 26 2024.For further information, contact info@doccircle.me.
