An opportunity to meet the Filmmaking Challenge team and ask all your questions in an informal webinar with Q&A.

Are you based in Kent? Have you got an idea for a short documentary film?

Don’t miss this opportunity to kickstart your filmmaking journey at an informal online introduction to this year’s Filmmaking Challenge.

Meet the team behind the project, hear more about how the challenge works and find out what kind of films we’re looking for. We’ll talk through the timeline and the submission process and share ideas about how to find a strong documentary story close to home. There’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, however big or small.

About the Filmmaking Challenge

Folkestone Documentary Festival Filmmaking Challenge is a county-wide creative programme that encourages people across Kent to make short, accessible documentary films rooted in their local environment, communities and stories. The Filmmaking Challenge is delivered in partnership with Screen South and Klip Films.

The Challenge is open to filmmakers of all ages and backgrounds, including schools, colleges, community groups, and all aspiring filmmakers. Films must be documentary in form, no longer than five minutes, and made by Kent-based people about Kent-based stories. There are very few rules: you can shoot on any camera, and participants are encouraged to film on their phones to keep the process simple and inclusive. There are two prizes — one for Best Film and one for Best Environmental Film.
