BFI Doc Society Talent Development Programme
BFI Doc Society’s Talent Development Programme delivers year-round development and outreach activities for independent documentary filmmakers with a primary focus on emerging talent.
The programme includes online and in-person open access networking opportunities, info sessions, industry events, training programmes, and festival delegations, delivered in collaboration with partners across the UK and international independent cinema landscape.
Find us at festivals and events throughout the UK for roundtables, mixers and 1-2-1 sessions, as well as panels, workshops and showcases. We aim to deliver our more intensive professional development interventions in hybrid online/in-person formats to allow access for talent across the country.

Interested in short creative non-fiction work? Looking for inspiration or insight into the wider short film landscape? Maybe you've applied to our Made of Truth Fund or are intending to do so in the future?
We've put together a selection of freely available, great short films that have been successful at international festivals, across forms and approaches. Worth a watch, and there are a few Made of Truth funded titles in there too!
