DocFilmLab – Film Training. Courses, Coaching and Community

We offer a variety of pathways to develop craft skills, visual storytelling and creative confidence combining intensive, practical, short courses with inspiring, dedicated, in-person support.

We also provide 1-to-1 mentoring for filmmakers through any stage of film production, specialising in non-scripted, documentary and hybrid narratives.

Who’s it for?
Our programmes are designed for creative teams and individuals as a flexible, affordable alternative to the traditional higher education degree for people either without the time or financial resources for such a long commitment, or who may feel the calling to filmmaking later on in their lives.

Where
Doc Film Lab is based in Clevedon, North Somerset, but also operates through our partnership venues in Bristol, the Engine Shed and Future Leap Clifton.

When
Our 4-day course has rolling entry dates throughout the year, while our 12-day and 9-week courses run start in May and September.

Eliigibility
18+. No prior filmmaking experience necessary. Informal interview to ensure the training serves the applicants needs.
