DOC Lab
DOC Lab is a three-day incubator to educate, inspire and develop filmmakers with a shared goal of developing documentaries and exploring multi-platforms for creation and delivery. Local and international experts are brought in as mentors to help the selected projects and teams.
The mentors will present their practice areas and speak on the developments and technologies that will help the selected teams in realizing their projects. They will also work with teams individually and provide feedback, suggestions and development strategies.
Starting from content ideas or from existing material, DOC Lab will discuss new documentary prototypes that use one or more new media. Workshop topics include:
- storytelling including new and different forms of platforms and storytelling devices
- collaboration across platforms and genres
- how to engage with the community and the role(s) of the audience
- interactive and data-based stories
- the use of computer games for documentary purposes
- funding and commissioning of all media documentaries
- new forms of distribution and delivery
Many Projects have been developed as a result including:
- Brother Number One, Annie Goldson
- Finding Mercy, Roby Paterson
- PIYN, Gareth Farry, Peter Takapuna
- Ringcon, Prue Langbein
- Strawberries with the Führer, Amy O'Connor

Famous quotes containing the word doc:
“The 5307th has collapsed. From a medical viewpoint, they’re finished as a fighting unit.... I have never seen human beings in such condition. They’re drained, physically and psychologically drained. I’m not tagging them for specific ailments. I’m simply marking every man in the outfit A.O.E.—accumulation of everything.”
—Samuel Fuller, U.S. screenwriter, and Milton Sperling. Samuel Fuller. Doc (Andrew Duggan)
