Scottish Documentary Institute

There’s no specific theme for this year’s open call. But we expect to be surprised, challenged, and moved by submissions that embrace the creativity of the documentary genre, and subvert expectations in terms of form and content.

Join us for an informal inspiration session taking place at Duncan Place in Leith on Thursday 5 September (5:30PM - 6:30PM)

We will run through the application guidelines, give you some pointers on developing your short documentary narrative, creating a story from an idea, and how to put this on paper. There will also be a chance to pitch us your ideas, and ask any questions you may have before submitting your application.
