Docedge is an incredible platform that goes deep into the Indian Asian story world – it is powerfully cinematic, artful, and native. The incubator is also a learning platform for us as mentors.

Without Docedge and DRI, I would not have achieved what I could as a filmmaker.

DOCEDGE provides the quintessential leadership in shaping the native filmmakers for global recognition.

Docedge incubator provided a tremendous support to transform my film Children of The Mist. It offered me to immerse myself in the local culture, and build friendship with fellow filmmakers. Over time these connections grew into a meaningful camaraderie and professional collaborations that have continued to flourish to this day. I remain deeply grateful  for what Docedge-Kolkata has brought into my life.

Can’t imagine such vibrations, energy, and creativity existing in many of the global forms.

The majority of significant recent documentaries in India have had one connection or the other with DocedgeKolkata. In Many ways, the journey of All That Breathes also got triggered by pitching at this forum. In various ways, that’s where a major part of the film’s journey got activated.

In this context, Docedge Kolkata is a rare and necessary space – where a documentarian’s ambition meets the rigour of authorship. As both an incubator and a pitch forum, it challenges filmmakers to interrogate their vision and forge vital connections, and it does so with a sense of depth and levity, making it a joyous community to be part of.

Docedge-Kolkata is very special to me. Not only is the quality of the projects selected incredibly high, but what makes this event so special is also the energy of the team, how they welcome everyone and create a safe space to exchange and connect.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with diverse projects across India. Its buddy system built a strong cohort, fostering deep and warm networks among current and emerging filmmakers.
