Calendar – Past Event

94 Elements is a new cross-media documentary project based around the 94 naturally occurring elements, from Hydrogen to Plutonium, with different filmmakers making a short film about each element. The project is both a celebration of creative documentary film and an exploration of our relationships with our natural resources. 94 Elements was pitched in MeetMarket in 2009 and we're really delighted to be continuing to support it through this pitch at Doc/Fest 2012.

The 94 Elements team have produced a pilot, funded by the Wellcome Trust, and they’re very excited to be running a new pitch at Doc/Fest this year. They'll be looking for the best doc-makers to pitch live at the festival to win a prize of £5k, raised from the crowd on Kickstarter. Pitch your ideas for films, we’ll shortlist the best for each opportunity, and the crowd will decide who wins the commissions.

We’re looking for surprising, moving, funny and unique human stories involving the elements—this is not about science, but our human relationships with our natural resources—and we're keen to see all documentary styles—from animated to artist’s film, from the personal to the political, from experimental to observational.
