THE SECOND WAVE (7, 8 and 10 September) will be an immersive and collaborative experience. There will be plenty of useful insights in project development, with plenty of permutations of content, subject matter, old and new media components, and approaches to audiences.There will also be useful and actionable ideas on where to find funds, how to cut costs, how to research and develop effective partnerships, and how to find and maximize in-kind resources. In addition, there will be guidance on how to track the best practices in comparable projects and also help on where to go for inexpensive tools and delivery platforms, legal and marketing tips, technical advice, and guidance on levels of interactivity. THE SECOND WAVE workshop will select up to 20 international (documentary) media projects that seek to be developed, financed, produced and/or distributed in new and innovative ways, using cross media techniques and new distribution platforms. Are you passionate about your subject, but do you hit a wall when trying to pitch it to a public broadcaster? Are you trying to figure out which entry point in a media company to approach for a pitch and for support? And are you looking for new ways to reach an audience? If so, this workshop is the place to be! During this three-day workshop, under the guidance of Neil Sieling, from Link TV (www.linktv.org/) and The Center for Social Media (http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/), and Docagora (www.docagora.org/) in the United States, the participants will first be asked to pitch their project in its current form to the gathered experts, organizers and fellow participants before then being given the opportunity to work intensively on the further development of their project, assisted by international experts. We are looking for innovative filmmakers with excellent stories and visions, who intend to fully and creatively exploit the opportunities offered by the new media and the cross media environment to produce their films and bring them to the audience. If you’re an out- of- the- box thinker, then we’re looking for you. New media project concepts for development in this Lab are open – an interactive component of a TV series or the next long-form creative documentary, a mobile-doc, a gaming application for e-learning, among others. The options are endless, as long as the project is demonstrated to be practical and ultimately doable by the producing team, and offers a unique contribution to the digital documentary realm. We will invite a two- persons team for each project selected, but one-person projects are also eligible. The participation fee is 300 € for the first participant + 235 € for the second participant. This fee covers the technical equipment, coffee breaks and the lunches during the three days workshop, as well as a networking dinner on the first evening and a closing dinner the last evening. Lodging is not included but assistance will be offered to find reasonably priced accommodation. Ten observer seats will be made available at 200 €/ seat. Participants can get a lot of value back for their participation: * A valuable prize to the best project(s) in the workshop. * In depth and very functional help for cross-platform projects no matter what the media components are or what stage the project is in before coming to the workshop. The experts for the workshop will be chosen to provide offer the greatest possible breadth and depth for the workshop projects, and are experienced bridges between a variety of media platforms and approaches. * The value of “the space between” experiences, meaning connecting to the other 19 project teams and the teams of experts and workshop organizers over the course of the sessions. Participants and experts for the 2008 Second Wave sessions were impressed with the quality of the collaborations and generous sharing of information, experiences, and insights, the ‘The 2009 Second Wave sessions’ also aim to maximize the degree of generosity and collaboration.
