SUPERB THING
People’s first reaction is often disbelief: How can an accelerator like this be free? But we’re living in a time of extraordinary and often absurd disparity. And sometimes, from that disparity, something truly positive emerges.
In this case: the alignment of values between a philanthropist and specific filmmakers who are trying to create work of cultural value. That alignment is the engine of I SEE DOCO LAB — and it is, quite simply, a superb thing.
We’re looking for passionate Stories that aim for peace and challenge thinking.
Wherever you are on your film journey, we can help you.

I SEE DOCO lab format
Applicants to I SEE DOCO LAB nominate a specific project goal to achieve. From there, six projects — and up to 18 filmmakers — are selected to take part in a 12-week online program. Participants receive weekly study modules to complete in their own time, supported by weekly mentoring and monthly pitch sessions, goals become tangible, critical momentum builds, and next steps become clear.
