What is the Masterschool?
The Documentary Campus Masterschool leads applicants through four intensive workshops to shape their documentary ideas for linear TV and web and across all genres and formats. Documentary Campus provides European documentary producers with tailored training and advice.
The Masterschool is an intensive training program for documentary filmmakers, taking place over a timespan of a 10-month period. Its aim is to mentor directors and producers to make exciting documentaries (one-offs, multiplatform and series) for the international market.
Over the course of four 5-day workshops in the 10-month period, 15 European producer/director teams are assisted in developing their documentary projects to appeal to international audiences. The teams receive invaluable feedback from experienced documentary professionals and have the unique opportunity to pitch their projects to a panel of carefully selected international commissioning editors at our largest Industry Event, the Leipzig Networking Days, in October.

The main target group for the Masterschool includes European non-fiction professionals (authors, directors, producers, commissioning editors and film funds):
