Billed as ‘the essential annual meeting of every key player in British documentary production’, I travelled to Oxford to meet up with some old friends, and get inspired.

The Britdoc Festival is associated with The Channel 4 British Documentary Film Foundation, giving grants and assistance to British independent filmmakers, and offering a collection of world premiere films, industry sessions and seminars. I met up with a number of directors and producers, as well as the festivals director, Beadie Finzi, to talk about opportunities for the documentary filmmaker.
