Join Film Hub North and filmmaker Juliet Klottrup for an inspiring online workshop on documentary filmmaking.
This free online masterclass explores the creation of short documentaries that explore the theme of People and Places. We’ll be working with filmmaker Juliet Klottrup (
Skate Like a Lass,
Travelling Home) to explore the genre and look at effective ways of capturing stories on a low budget, and how to engage subjects and community groups to do this.
This event is part of our
People and Places Documentary DIY Filmmaking Challenge. Submit your documentary micro-short (3 mins max) for the chance to win £1,000 funding and production support to bring your next project to life. Shortlisted films will be showcased at Sheffield DocFest, with one winner walking away with £1,000 to create a micro-budget short in 2025.
