1st MODULE: June 2019, Podgorica (Montenegro)

2nd MODULE: August 2019, Novi Sad (Serbia)

3rd MODULE: October 2019, DOK Leipzig (Germany)

We are also encouraging the filmmakers who are in process of developing their first feature-length documentaries to apply.

Participation fee: 650 €, covers the pedagogical material, accommodation and meals for all three modules. CIRCLE Women Doc Accelerator may allocate two full scholarships for participants in need.

CIRCLE is organised by Wake Up Films in partnership with Underhill Fest Montenegro and DOK Leipzig Co-Pro Market. The program is supported by Film Centre of Montenegro, Film Centre of Serbia, The Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Serbia, EWA and EDN.
