NeXt Doc

Last week to get those applications in for the 2026-27 Next Doc Fellowship!

Deadling to apply is THIS Friday March 6th @ 11:59pm PST

https://www.nextdoc.org/apply

NeXt Doc is a year-long fellowship designed to amplify the voices of documentary filmmakers ages 21-25 from communities that historically have not had access to film programs, artistic communities, or critical development for their filmmaking skills.

NeXt Doc kicks off with a week-long gathering in June and continues with year-round programming, personalized mentorship and opportunities for creative development, technical support, funding and artistic growth.

The opening week centers community building, and includes masterclasses and screenings presented by award-winning filmmakers, along with workshops led by our team focused on project development, artistic growth and critical explorations of ethics in storytelling, power and representation in non-fiction film.

NeXt Doc fellows are invited to not only explore and challenge their understanding of the turbulent history, frameworks, and practices of documentary, but to envision a new one!

NeXt Doc is intended to be accessible to all eligible non-fiction filmmakers, regardless of their financial status or geographical location. There is no cost to apply, and those selected will attend free of charge with food, housing, and workshops all fully covered. For selected fellows who are unable to travel safely to the U.S., we will provide a dynamic virtual fellowship experience.

✨NEXT DOC 2024 - DAY 7-8✨

We laughed, cried, discovered, shared meals together, played games, learned new things, taught each other and overall had a beautiful week at Galusha Hill Farms!

Looking forward to continued world building with this phenomenal group of individuals. ❤️🎥

✨NEXT DOC 2024 - DAY 5-6✨

Taking time to center ourselves and intentionally think about our own futures and the future of filmmaking. We’re dreaming, believing and creating our own narratives. Reaching back to reclaim what we’ve been made to forget.

Thank you to and .k.p.l.m for leading very insightful and thought provoking Master Classes.

Deep deep gratitude for the space being held this week. 🙏🏾💌
