The UK Films For Change workshop will be run by Robert West and Judith Helfand, the founders of Working Films. They are without question one of the leaders in this field, masterminding the campaigns behind feature documentaries such as "Two Towns of Jasper", Sundance Award winning  "Blue Vinyl" and the Emmy Award winning "The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib". The projects they have worked on have resulted in significant shifts in the marketplace, public and political opinion.  

HOW TO APPLY

They are looking for film projects of a social justice or campaigning nature already in development, production or post-production.  With your application you need to submit a trailer and a selection of rushes. If the film is near completed you should send in the rough cut. Films that already have commercial or third sector partners involved with the film will be of key interest.

DEADLINE Friday April 25^th 2008
