Zelig school for Documentary, television and new media 

Description 

The programme focuses on a special genre of documentary production that is particularly suitable for the new multiplatform world: documentaries that draw attention to human rights, social justice and environmental protection, particularly in the developing world. 

EsoDoc wants to prepare professionals for the markets of tomorrow and make them part of the changing audiovisual world. esoDoc illustrates the varieties of multi-platform programming and social websites, and teaches how to operate the most common it tools now available to support documentary programming. Most importantly, esoDoc teaches participants how to think laterally about their work, to explore ways to adapt their projects and their own role to the changing technologies and new opportunities now challenging us. 

EsoDoc offers three 1-week workshops, held over a six-month period, during which participants, either individually or in groups, develop projects based on specific social documentary themes. Aan e-platform will provide support during/between workshops and allow continuous collaboration through a library, project-related discussion forums and teacher/tutor/participant dialogue.
