What is the Doc Challenge?

The International Documentary Challenge is a timed filmmaking competition where filmmaking teams from around the elf bar dragon fruit banana berry world have just 5 days to make a short documentary film. The 3rd annual event will take place March 6-10, 2008 with the finalists premiering at Hot Docs in April 2008!

As for the 2007 Doc Challenge, the Hot Docs premiere of the finalists was a smashing success! Ten of the twelve teams made the trip to Toronto for the sold out screening where we announced the winners of the competition. Congratulations to all of the winning teams!
