Call for Entries: DocuClub-In-The-Works Shorts

DocuClub is doing a special In-the-Works for short films!
Thursday, June 1 at the IFC Center
Submission Deadline is Monday, May 15

DocuClub's In-the-Works program offers filmmakers a safe environment to screen a rough-cut of their documentaries before an audience of their peers and lovers of the form. The audience is encouraged to give constructive feedback about the structure, content, characters and clarity of the film in a post-screening discussion facilitated by an experienced filmmaker.

DocuClub is pleased to invite short films between the lengths of 10-30 minutes to apply for this program. We will showcase 2-3 films and have a discussion after each one. Please do not submit short versions of feature films – we will only consider rough cuts of films whose final running time will be 30 minutes or shorter.

Previous films that have recently screened at our In-the-Works program through DocuClub include Academy Award-winner Born into Brothels by Zana Briski & Ross Kauffman. The Boys of Baraka directed by Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady, and Encounter Point directed by Ronit Avni, co-directed by Julia Bacha.

Submission requirements can be found on our website at http://docuclub.org/filmdirectory/submissions.html
