“Documentary filmmaking is about discovering, being open, and following curiosity” - Spike Jonze
Each of our eleven international city-based festivals receive hundreds of fantastic and diverse documentaries each season, and it’s always a great shame that we can’t provide all of them with the exposure they deserve.
This is why we have created The Documentary Showcase, which aims to celebrate and showcase more of the incredibly insightful content that we receive. The event consists of screenings, discussions, feedback and presentations by organisations eager to support documentary filmmakers venturing into the exciting world of independent film.

Following on from the massive success of our First-Time Filmmaker Showcase, with one of our premier team's winning an Academy Award, we have designed this new showcase programme intended for documentary filmmakers - with the overall goal for all who are selected to have a head start within the film industry.
You will be joined by other skilled filmmakers carving their path in the film industry. There will be opportunities throughout the day to have your questions answered and this will enable filmmakers who attend the event to forge long lasting relationships which will be essential in the future! For each production team, there will also be a group peer review session. In this session, there will be a full discussion about the various films which have been screened during the day based on feedback from the attendees. Filmmakers will also have the opportunity to have a one-on-one meet and greet with the Lift-Off Co-founders James Bradley and Ben Pohlman.
Our goal is to offer as much as possible to all who submit, our officially selected filmmakers, our nominees and winners. At the submission level we offer value for your submission fee with exclusive content and a 24-page e-book, highlighting…
