The UK Centre for Documentary in the Cinema supporting and promoting independent documentary films since 2002. DocHouse programmes weekly screenings of outstanding international documentaries, masterclasses with leading documentary filmmakers, training courses in association with the NFTS and educational events held in partnership with BAFTA, BBC, Film London, The Grierson Trust and Tate Modern. PREVIOUS EVENTS Over the last 5 years DocHouse has presented a range of successful events in partnership with its collaborators: 'DocHistory' with the BBC 'Across Borders' with Tate Modern 'Summerdocs' with NFTS This is what some of the attendees had to say: "…the course was excellent. I have learned so much over the six sessions and, crucially, I feel this knowledge will strongly inform my work as a programme-maker at the BBC. It has been a real pleasure to attend and learn." "…Really brilliant! I think the way different docs have been grouped in strands was really effective, and seemed effortless though I'm sure it wasn't. Watching clips of practically every doc was great." "…the whole course was absolutely fantastic. Elizabeth Wood was a great tutor, giving excellent context and commentary …The guest speakers were also excellent - hugely knowledgeable, yet interesting and with some light-hearted observations as well as serious commentary." "…a wonderful opportunity to learn about some of the more refined issues of context - technical innovations and limitations, audiences and accessibility." "…it was an invaluable opportunity to contextualise the landmark films … and to have a greater appreciation of the flow of ideas ……. across genres." "…a fantastic chance to see old films that we wouldn't normally get to see, and relate the problems film-makers had to solve with the same issues we grapple with today. The course gave a strong sense of being in a tradition, showing how influences merge with each other and develop - tracing the roots of styles. Really inspiring for our work." "This course has been a huge service and inspiration" Picture Credits (left to right): THE NOT DEAD, Brian Hill MAXWELL, Colin Barr, courtesy of BBC GHOSTS, Nick Broomfield, courtesy of Tartan Films
