    Connect & Collab: Fact and Fiction

    Watershed

BFI NETWORK South West and BFI Doc Society are proud to present a whole evening of films and networking at Watershed in Bristol, to celebrate the forthcoming round of funds and the awesome work that we’ve supported in the past. From 6:30pm-8:30pm on Thu 29 Feb we’ll be screening selected short films on a loop*, and we’ll have a drop-in space next door for filmmakers to meet and discuss projects, with BFI NETWORK and BFI Doc Society representatives on hand throughout the evening.

Both the BFI NETWORK Short Film Fund and the Made of Truth fund are due to re-open in March, so now’s the time to be inspired and forge connections for your next film – be it documentary, hybrid, immersive or scripted. Why not stop by and meet fellow creatives?

Please note: This is a free event for south west-based screenwriters, directors and producers (please refer to our region map on the FAQs page of our website) aged 18+.

* The running order will be displayed on the night. Films will include documentary shorts and scripted work – everything from horror to comedy and animation.
