[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Hi, 



Conversations on Documentary Filmmaking
Every month, we will conduct a mentoring workshop for young filmmakers on different aspects of the making of a documentary film: the language and ethics of documentary narrative. This discussion will take place in an informal, round table setting, moderated by 2 mentors, to enable the filmmakers to question, and thereby push their ideas/concepts further.


We invite filmmakers to submit their concepts / proposals in the following format 
1. A one liner of the film. 
2. A synopsis of the project
3. A treatment/director's/motivation note. 
4. A video clip / trailer / rushes if available, not more than 20 minutes. 
5. A brief bio of director with contact details.
6. Any other material, if available, which will help us understand the project better.
7. DO NOT CUT n PASTE from WIKIPEDIA / NET
8. Please see that all files should be compatible for both Windows n Mac


The project may be at any stage:concept / pre production or even post.
The selected projects will be circulated amongst selected participants and mentors before the workshop.


Please note:
This session is free of charge.
There is room for only 1-2 projects every month.
So, projects which are not short listed, please feel free to apply again, preferably with additions.
