The fall DocCelerator season is offering filmmakers three opportunities to join the online workshop on structuring documentary stories. These three editions of DocCelerator are presented in collaboration with six Creative Europe Desks from across Europe.

DocCelerator is for you, if you want a clearer dramaturgical structure for your next documentary. You will be introduced to a set of tools for structuring documentary stories, that can be used for your current as well as for future projects.

Since the launch of DocCeleratror in May 2020, over 40 DocCelerator workshop have taken place and more than 350 documentary professionals have participated. For the fall 2026 season, there are three sessions organised in close collaborations with the Creative Europe Desks in all corners of Europe. Here are the dates and deadlines for each of the three editions.
