Upcoming Workshops
Our 101 Workshops are a core offering of Documentary Australia, introducing filmmakers to the philanthropic and impact paradigms with a mixture of theory and practical skills development. The three sessions are presented by our CEO Dr Mitzi Goldman.
100% of surveyed attendees last year rated the workshop good or excellent, agreed that their objectives have been met and would recommend the workshop to others.
“The webinar really enticed me to pursue philanthropic funding as an effective tool to help fund my film.” – Filmmaker
