Dhaka DocLab Archives documentary filmmaking in Asia
The Dhaka DocLab Archives showcase the organization’s history from 2017 to today. They highlight its commitment to developing filmmakers and promoting documentary filmmaking in Bangladesh and Asia. As a key pitching forum for documentary creators, Dhaka DocLab provides an essential platform for emerging talents to present their projects and connect with industry professionals.
Every year, Dhaka DocLab invites international tutors to lead workshops where participants develop their documentary projects. These sessions enhance filmmakers' skills and help them better conceptualize and construct compelling narratives with invaluable support.
After the workshop, filmmakers pitch their projects and receive constructive feedback from industry experts. Participants also engage in one-on-one meetings with film professionals, building valuable connections and gaining insights. The year culminates in an awards program that recognizes outstanding projects, offering cash and in-kind scholarship awards. This initiative not only celebrates filmmakers’ achievements but also supports their future endeavors in documentary filmmaking.
