48H Film Lab

In collaboration with the University of Stirling and Hyde Hill Productions, the Central Scotland Documentary Festival presents its first ever 48 Hour Film Lab in 2023

The Central Scotland Documentary Festival is a great excuse to spend 5 days immersed in the world of documentary cinema. But if you're involved in filmmaking (or would like to be in the future) it's also a wonderful place to develop your skills, network with industry professionals and meet like-minded folk.

The Central Scotland Documentary Festival is inviting groups of filmmakers to come together and make a 5 minute documentary based in the City of Stirling and the surrounding areas in just two days.

To take part in the Lab, please email info@centscotdocufest.org by 12 noon on Fri 27 Oct 2023. 

Groups should be a maximum of 3 people and all groups are expected to provide their own filming and editing equipment. Accommodation and travel costs are not provided.
