All DocCelerator versions are project-based workshops taking place online. The length of each workshop is 2 days and can accommodate 6 selected project teams, depending on the specific version.
“The online DocCelerator format is such an effective set-up for documentary makers to achieve fast, inexpensive and useful progress for their projects. Two days with full focus on one project, with no time, energy or money spend on traveling,” Rishøj Jensen told Business Doc Europe in 2021. “The participants like this short but effective boost to their projects, which they get from taking part. During two days, their stories becomes much more focused and they realize that this focus saves them a lot of time and money in the production and editing.”
