In line with One World Media's goal to support international filmmakers to tell underreported stories, the Forum are supporting talent from all around the world: from Colombia to China, Nigeria to Ukraine.

 

This year the Global Short Docs Forum will be held in Kyiv, Ukraine in partnership with Docudays UA from 26 - 29 March 2019. Over the course of a 4-day residential workshop, these selected filmmakers will be given the chance to learn from industry experts, build an invaluable global network of like-minded peers, and ultimately pitch their selected projects to commissioners from digital platforms.
