The Documentary Filmmakers Group - DFG - is the national organisation working to promote documentary filmmaking talent and innovation in the UK.
A single aim links all our work: to encourage, stimulate, promote and support the growth of a strong community of documentary filmmakers and film audiences.
We have been running since 2001, operating as a non-profit organisation. Our presence, our activities and our community continue to expand, showing that there is real demand for a group dedicated to serving the needs of documentary film in all its aspects.
DFG is the leading provider of industry-focussed training for established and aspiring documentary filmmakers and a member of the elite Skillset Media Academy Network.
We run a range of networking, information and advice events for documentary filmmakers at different stages in their careers, as well as pitching opportunities and screenings. We also provide a number of resources, via this website and the DFG Community, a growing online community of over 1300 documentary filmmakers which shares insider news and a range of practical resources.
Our production wing has produced award-winning documentary series, and recently merged with the award-winning Mosaic Films; a partnership that promises to deliver exciting new opportunities for talented filmmakers. DFG and Mosaic Films’ combined expertise means that we have been uniquely positioned to collaborate on a range of exciting training and film production initiatives, working in partnership with Channel 4, Channel 5, and ITV, amongst other organisations. In keeping with our mission statement, these initiatives are designed either to promote talent, diversity and equal opportunities within the documentary filmmaking industry, or to promote innovation in a particular strand of documentary programming.
If you are interested in joining DFG and supporting its work, then please sign up as a member. It's only £27.50 for the year and you will get a whole host of additional benefits, including exclusive member resources, deals and discounts.
