SUMMARY:Keeping It Real: Consultation Session
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thur 16 July \nTime: 10.00am-12.00pm \nBefore the world as we knew it changed because of COVID-19\, we carried out the largest ever survey of UK feature doc producers and directors. We hoped the findings would shine a light on the unique ecosystem of the feature docs sector which\, as the report evidences\, is under-funded\, under-valued and often poorly understood by policymakers. \nWhile the data in the report was collected before the advent of Coronavirus\, the problems it identifies remain. The report is an opportunity for the feature doc industry to better understand itself\, and to articulate\, agitate\, evidence and advocate for change. But what does a better\, fairer and more sustainable feature doc industry look like\, and how do we get there? \nThis session is an opportunity to discuss policy recommendations and policy change with your peers in small groups\, as well as communicate and collaborate with the feature doc industry at large. We will spend the majority of time in working groups based on your industry area\, e.g. Broadcast; Agencies and Funders; Distribution and Sales; Exhibition and Festivals\, and explore the three main recommendation areas of the report – diversity\, sector development and funding – with dedicated time at the end to feedback to the entire group and discuss next steps. \nThis event is open to Feature Doc workers only. If you work in UK Feature Docs and would like to take part please email alice.quigley@uwe.ac.uk to register. \nTo be able to participate fully\, please read the report recommendations before attending.

SUMMARY:Documentary Utopias: Rebuilding the UK Feature Doc Landscape Post-Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thur 25 June \nTime: 11.00am-12.30pm \nKeeping it Real: Towards A Nonfiction Film Policy for the UK\, the biggest ever survey of feature documentary producers and directors\, is published here. The report has evidenced the dire state of the sector – under-funded\, under-representative and often poorly understood by policymakers. The data in the report was collected before the advent of coronavirus\, but the problems it identifies remain.  \nIn this session\, filmmakers and researchers from the UK Feature Docs project invite us to imagine what a radically different industry could look like and how we might get there. \nPanellists include: \nDr Steve Presence is the lead investigator of UK Feature Docs and author of Keeping It Real: Towards a  Documentary Film Policy for the UK. He is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies in the Department of Arts and Cultural Industries at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). Most of his research focuses on UK film and television history\, culture and policy. \nLindsey Dryden is an internationally acclaimed\, Emmy®-winning\, film director and producer who started out in TV documentary (Channel 4\, BBC\, History Channel) before moving into independent cinema. She has produced shorts and features that have won at Sundance (Unrest\, 2017\, dir: Jennifer Brea) and the Emmy’s and Webby’s (Trans In America\, 2018\, dir: Daresha Kyi)\, and directed short and feature documentaries (Lost and Sound\, SXSW\, 2012). A proud founding member of Queer Producers Network and FWD-Doc (Filmmakers With Disabilities)\, her work has been released theatrically\, shortlisted for Oscar nomination\, and broadcast on Netflix\, PBS\, BBC and others. \nEloise King is an award-winning filmmaker\, who has focused her career on telling powerful human-interest stories foregrounding marginalized voices. As a former Global Executive Producer at VICE\, overseeing the brand’s digital channels in the UK and i-D’s globally\, Eloise explored fashion\, youth cultures\, and social justice. Her projects have generated over 100 million views and have crossed digital and major terrestrial platforms\, including BBC\, Channel 4\, ITV\, MTV\, A&E\, and Al Jazeera English. Her previous titles\, as a director and/or producer\, include: The Gatherings (C4 – Nominated for a Grierson Award)\, Kids Behind Bars (ITV)\, Call the Mediator (BBC)\, Acid Attacks (VICE)\, JME x Corbyn\, Fire Games of Napoli\, and the Gurls Talk series with Adwoa Aboaheries with Adwoa Aboah. \n\nPaul Sng is a British Chinese documentary filmmaker and writer whose work is designed to amplify the voices of people who are rarely heard in the arts and media. In 2015\, he founded Velvet Joy Productions to produce films about people who challenge the status quo\, by working in a collaborative way to capture extraordinary aspects of everyday life. Paul’s documentaries have been broadcast on national television and screened internationally and include: Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain (2015)\, Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle (2017)\, Social Housing\, Social Cleansing (2018) and the forthcoming Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché (2021). His first book\, Invisible Britain: Portraits of Hope and Resilience\, was published in November 2018.  \nRachel Wexler has been working in film and television for 30 years and specialises in producing and executive producing ambitious documentary projects for a worldwide audience.

Prior to producing\, Mia worked in some of the top sales\, marketing\, distribution and exhibition companies in the UK\, across both documentary and fiction. In 2016 Mia took over Birds’ Eye View pivoting it from being a film festival about to close into a year-round charity – running the Reclaim the Frame exhibition project (a mission to bring ever-greater audiences to films by women) and Future Leaders in Distribution\, a leadership training programme for women with 7+ years of film distribution experience.

SUMMARY:Docfest panel 2019: 'Cinema and State: Developing Policy Frameworks for Feature Docs'
DESCRIPTION:Cinema and State: Developing Policy Frameworks for Feature Docs\nAs part of the project’s exploration of policy ideas to support the feature docs sector\, we hosted apanel at Doc/Fest 2019. More info and links below. We’re doing lots more work in this area. Give us a shout if you want to discuss it or contribute and in the meantime\, watch this space! \nUK film policy is almost entirely geared towards fiction\, while the unique challenges facing the documentary sector are overlooked. It’s high-time the UK had a bespoke policy framework to support its documentary makers. What kinds of interventions are needed? How should they be developed? This session invites panelists and audience members alike to collectively brainstorm demands to better meet the needs of theatrical docs. The session is part of ‘UK Feature Docs’\, an AHRC-funded study of the UK’s feature-length film industry. \nMore info at https://sheffdocfest.com/sessions/6925
