WHAT IS ESoDoc AND WHAT WE OFFER
ESoDoc - European Social Documentary is the training initiative for media
professionals and “cross-thinkers” who want to increase impact and
outreach of their documentary films and cross-media projects by developing
new storytelling skills, networking over different platforms, discovering
new forms of team building, of producing and financing and new
distribution strategies.

ESoDoc offers three intense one-week residential sessions held over a
period of six months, combined with Extended Online Sessions (EOS) for
market related topics, project tutoring and networking with festivals and
other market events.

With the support of top-rated professionals, participants will improve
their storytelling skills, master the art of project developing,
prototyping and pitching. You will discover new forms of team-building and
networking and will get an insight in international coproduction,
financing and distribution strategies.
During the workshops, participants are tutored by a network of
international experts on the development of the projects. Emphasis is
placed on building up strong storytelling  along with new production
possibilities (collaborative media) and communication tools.
We explore new funding and distribution strategies, both on traditional
channels as on new media channels, such as the web and the new
crowdfunding platforms.

ESoDoc trains its participants to be better equipped for the challenges of
the changing audiovisual market, and enables the professionals to better
engage audiences across different platforms and maximize the outreach and
impact of the projects.

The workshop is open for professional with or without an own project.

Participants without a project can not propose a new project during the
training. They will have the chance to team up during the first session
with a participant with a project.

All participants who want to develop a crossmedia project are asked to
have a graphic designer in their team by the second session.


WORKSHOP STRUCTURE
During the three sessions participants will:

assist ground-breaking lectures from prominent worldwide professionals and
discover what is new, controversial and seminal in documentary film
making;
work individually (one-to-one meetings) and in groups to develop their
documentary or cross-media project;
take practical courses in storytelling/writing techniques, cross-media
production, participatory media;
get trained in pitching skills and present their projects in front of
renowned experts at the final public pitching session, as well as during
one-to-one meetings;
participate to the Extended Online Sessions (EOS) for project tutoring and
networking with festivals and other market events.
