www.documentfilmfestival.org for applications and guidelines.

We are pleased to announce that the call for submissions is now online for Document 10. This year we will be celebrating 10 years of existence and we look forward to welcoming your film submissions in this very important anniversary year.

Over the past nine years, the Document Festival has built its reputation by screening films which critically engage with the world we live in at the start of the 21st century: stories at once personal and universal in significance, by emerging and established filmmakers from every country and culture.
We seek to show work which explores the idea of human rights in its broadest definition and in a wide range of styles, from reportage to cinematic essays, from investigative journalism to experimental forms.
Document 10 will screen documentary films old and new, from home and abroad, addressing issues such as:
• immigration & asylum • women • war & conflict • self-determination
• racism • LGBT rights • miscarriages of justice • eviction • poverty • social exclusion
• workers/unemployed rights • mental health & social care • young people
• human trafficking • indigenous cultures • environmental concerns
• global policies & local consequences …
*Any films bearing any relation to issues of human rights will be considered.
Document 10 welcomes applications from documentary filmmakers to participate in a unique UK-based festival dedicated to international human rights.
