As Rebecca posted in January, we felt the time was right for some changes to Fourdocs, which necessitated putting the site on hold. We hope you continue to find the information and archive useful.
During this time, our documentary and cross-platform commissioning teams have been busy planning how we inject some new energy and ideas into identifying and nurturing new documentary makers – plans which are very nearly ready to share with you.
So please keep subscribing to this blog and if you have any ideas you would like to share with us or questions you need answers to, use the comments below and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Sadly, the time has come for FourDocs to draw to a close. Although we’re very proud of the things that FourDocs has achieved, we also feel that it’s time to find other new ways of identifying and championing new documentary talent.
FourDocs was set up in 2005 to provide a platform for new filmmakers to showcase their own short documentaries, receive feedback from leading industry experts and discuss them with each other. The site functioned as an online film school, with video guides covering everything from structure and lighting to editing choices. The archive timeline contextualised 30 or so definitive documentaries, such as Listen to Britain, The Lift and The Boy Who’s Skin Fell Off, and perhaps most inspirational were the interviews with award winning directors like Molly Dineen and Paul Watson.
We’ve had nearly 900 film submissions over the years, and seen 24 of them commissioned to be broadcast as 3 Minute Wonders. We also won a BAFTA for interactive innovation in 2007. read more
