The great success of the "30 Minutes" program was an inspiration to create his documentary equivalent "First documentary".

Purposes of the programme:

    The basic purpose of the programme is to enable debuting film    directors to make their first professional documentaries. The films produced are from 10 to 15 minutes long. The programme’s intention is natural networking of producers and young creators on the professional ground.

Participants must be:

  • graduates of film schools,
  • film directing students,
  • directors of photography,
  • persons without film education, but with some artistic experience (amateur films, TV reportages).

All projects are provided with artistic supervision.
One of the selection stages is a public presentation of the projects before the Artistic Board.

 

The works are led by the Artistic Board
