The International Film Festival of Patmos IFFP and SugarHigh Films are, for the second time, organising the Patmos Documentary Workshop for emerging filmmakers.

Successful applicants will spend 2 weeks on the Greek islands, working in teams of 3 to each create a 10 minute documentary portrait that will be screened on the closing night of the festival.

The project consists of three phases:

A. Research & Development – remote / online
B. Filming at the Greek islands of Patmos, Kos, Leros, Ikaria and Agathonisi
C. Post production, seminars and Patmos int. film festival

After the summer, the participants’ footage will be reworked by Sugar High Films into a single, feature-length documentary called The Faces of Immigration [Working Title]. This modular, collaborative, feature length documentary will then be released at international festivals, will premier in Patmos 2017 and will be broadcast on international television channels, including Sundance Channel and OTE TV.

The workshop was founded in 2013, with the intention of bringing together young filmmakers in order to create a new, exciting kind of documentary production method. By partaking in the workshop, participants will leave with sharpened skills, international contacts, an industry credit for a widely distributed feature and a great experience.
