This year, 10x10 gets a Sheffield Twist: We're focussing on the all-important trailer!
Friday 15th June, 3.45pm, Channing Hall
Trailer, taster, teaser… whatever you call it, join the conversation as three filmmakers present their work-in-progress for feedback from you, the audience. And remember, the conversation continues in the pub, thanks to Audio Network...
10x10 is a free project development workshop - filmmakers screen up to 10 minutes of their non-fiction works-in-progress and receive 10 minutes of directed feedback from the group.
We're returning to Sheffield Doc/Fest for the 5th year running, and to celebrate we're giving the event a new twist: all projects screened must be some form of trailer, whether it's a short taster tape for a TV commissioner, or a crowd-funding trailer.
A past participant put it in a nutshell:
"10x10 peddles purely in feedback – good, bad, but hopefully always constructive. A unique opportunity, it provides that other crucial element – alongside money – that abounds in studio or broadcast infrastructures, but is in distinctly short supply at the independent level: the opportunity of a second, third and fourth opinion; the thoughts of an unbiased audience."
Run as a partnership between DFG and Doculink, 10x10 is a great opportunity to feel part of an independent doc community - to get support from other filmmakers, share experience and, crucially, a rare chance to gain a hands-on perspective of what works, what doesn't and why.
10x10 is sponsored by the lovely people at
