Matchmaker: Editors x Directors/Producers
Submit your expression of interest by 14 August

Good documentary editors aren't always easy to find, and finding one who aligns with your formal vision, budgets, and time frame is even trickier. BFI Doc Society want to connect independent UK doc editors looking for new opportunities and connections, with directors and producers whose radar they might not yet be on. We hope to nurture new relationships and potential future collaborations through an online meet-up.

To be eligible, you have to have worked on at least one feature documentary, or be working towards your first feature documentary.

Please read all details and register your interest via this link.

Deadline: Thursday 14 August, 10am BST.

Meet our RISE 2025 cohort!

Meet our RISE Producer Programme 2025 cohort!

The BFI Doc Society RISE Producer Programme 2025 offers individually tailored guidance and training for 6 UK-based producers, aimed at breaking down socio-economic barriers of access and sustainability for emerging first time feature documentary producers.

For the second iteration of the programme, we selected participants from a UK-wide open call for applications. These producers will benefit from flexible modes of support and development sessions centred around bespoke 1-2-1 consultancies, group presentations, and market introduction.
