Run by Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC)
Newcomers to documentary get a subsidized pass to their first Australian International Documentary Conference, held in Sydney in March 2027. It suits early-career and under-represented nonfiction makers living in Australia. Industry donors pay for each place, and four people from the group pitch a project in development to a panel during the conference.
