Cornwall Film Festival kicked off its proposed 4 minute documentary screening with a weekend training course giving a DIY Guide to Documentary Film Making. The training course was run in conjunction with Cornwall Film, Denham Productions and Cornwall Film Festival and was led by Maud Hand from Channel 4s IDEASFACTORY

Over the two days course delegates were taken through the process of developing documentary ideas, story boarding, identifying contributors, preparing interviews and researching ideas, planning schedules for shooting, filming, editing and uploading the finished project to the 4docs website.

The course was a huge success with delegate brimming with ideas and methodology of how to bring their documentaries to the big screen.  We are looking forward to seeing the finished results in November.

4Docs is a broadband channel designed by channel 4 as a place for users to showcase their documentaries.  It provides practical advice from experts, and anyone, from complete beginners to experienced film makers, can create a four minute documentary on something they feel passionate about.In association with Penryn based Denham Productions the 2006 Cornwall Film Festival will host a feature screening of four minute documentaries filmed by people in Cornwall.  All films submitted to this section will also be submitted to the four docs website.  So if you live in Cornwall and have a an idea or a story to tell in four minutes, why not download an application and send your film in.
