DOCUMENTOR
Workshop Initiative

DOCUMENTOR

Documentor is a travelling workshop initiative of DRI to evoke quality discourses among the young filmmakers and students of media institutions. The 4-day interactive workshop aims to raise awareness of and provide exposure to high-quality artistic actuality storytelling. The workshop series is taking place in small towns and underprivileged regions where storytelling ecology is completely intimidated by mainstream commercialism.

Mind for Stories

MFS is initiated to bring path-breaking filmmakers – directors, cinematographers, sound designers, editors, and creative producers to have an informal interaction face-to-face with emerging storytellers and media students. This is an initiative to create opportunities for a higher level of dialogical exchange among storytellers. The series is designed to invite masters for informal sessions to reflect upon their vision and intriguing artistry assigned to their creative worldview.
