THE ART AND CRAFT OF TELLING THE TRUTH

The 2021 Clinic programme presents a series of six workshops covering essential hard and soft skills for documentary filmmakers and creators of factual content.

Our programme runs August – October, at 1.30pm on alternate Saturdays (NZ time). All our Clinics run online so, wherever in the world you are, you’re welcome.

Join us for Clinic 5 on Saturday 2 October, for two panels – one with guests from the organisations who support short filmmaking in NZ, and one with guests who’ve made some very successful short docos.

The final event in the programme, Clinic 6, will run on Saturday 16 October (The Art of Negotiation).
