To support this event, we want to encourage the making of 4 minute docs to be submitted to the festival (deadline August 15th) The workshop CHANNEL 4 IDEASFACTORY Northern Ireland presents a 2-day workshop on the craft of documentary film making. Using top examples of 3 and 4 minute documentary films that have been produced through either IDEASFACTORY for the 3 Minute Wonder week night slot at 7.55 on Channel 4 or for ROLLING STOCK, IDEASFACTORY West Midland's Film Festival on Trains together with the cream of those 4 minute documentaries that have been made for the channel's new platform, FOUR DOCS, workshop participants will be taken through the essentials of what's required in putting together a 4 minute documentary film. The discussion based workshop will cover: 1. Developing the actual idea Ideally applicants should explore thoroughly the Film & TV zones of IDEASFACTORY and FOUR DOCS in advance and come with a solid idea that they'd like to realise. We would prefer if people could bring their idea in writing.
