Three inspirational afternoons of talks, presentations and case studies, curated by The Catalysts, where we want to revisit together the notion of authorship (Claim your Story!), funding sources (Follow the Money!) and impact (Shaping Success) of documentary filmmaking.

Join members from Doc Society’s Climate Story Unit to find out more about the just launched Global Climate Storytellers Network and participate in two dynamic sessions exploring the art and impact of climate storytelling.
