Authors, directors and producers!

Everybody, who has projects of documentary films about our today’s life!

We invite you to the first Ukrainian open-air workshop “Country Doc”. “Country Doc” is a gulp of fresh air. Get out of stuffy and smoked rooms!

“Country Doc” will involve 5 best projects, selected at the Third Ukrainian workshop on international co-production of documentary.

Five experienced foreign tutors will hold a master-class.
“ Country Doc” are four days spent together in two country houses. Small private hotels and small mountain river with the ice-cold swimming bath , early mountain autumn and mushrooms in the West Ukrainian Carpathians just cannot help assisting the birth of masterpieces.

Schedule:
The Third Ukrainian workshop: 23-25 May, 2006
The first Ukrainian open-air workshop “Country Doc”: 20-24 September, 2006

The Third Ukrainian workshop on international co-production of documentary for filmmakers and producers from Ukraine, Byelorussia, Russia is dedicated to script development, production and marketing.

The workshop aims are: creating adequate conditions for production and release of interesting and professionally done Ukrainian art-documentary films.

The workshop will involve 15 projects represented by two persons per project. Under guidance of experienced tutors the workshop participants will receive proper assistance in order to prepare their film projects and get them on the way, to identify prospective sources of financing and, finally, to create quality documentaries that would be subsequently released for theatre screening or television broadcasting. The best projects will obtain assistance and support for their subsequent implementation and distribution.

5 best projects will be selected for future work.
The authors of the selected projects and tutors will meet in September in the picturesque region of Carpathian Mountains, where for 4 days they will be able to work on the further development of their projects and will undergo trainings.
We want a documentary filmmaker to be free of political control and financial dictate of mass-media proprietors as well as films to be devoted to the modern life and to be based on fundamental values of democracy, such as the right for freedom and human dignity.
