The Road From Shorts to Features – DocHeads session at Open City Documentary Festival
- By Katharine
- No Comments
It’s hard enough to make a short film, let alone make the jump to feature length filmmaking. In this session hosted by DocHeads co-founder Tristan Anderson we’ll explore that jump through the career trajectory of filmmaking duo Matt Hopkins and Ben Lankester. Matt’s short film Richard was awarded the Mystreet prize by the Grand Jury at Open City Docs in 2013, and their feature documentary debut, A Divorce Before Marriage, screens at this year’s festival.
Presented in partnership with DocHeads.
FREE FOR INDUSTRY AND STUDENT DELEGATES

BIG NEWS. We’ll be premiering our Doc Heads & Rankin Film Productions commission for Hunger TV at our next event on the 25th February. “Nightcrawlers of Phnom Penh” is a visceral yet stunning insight into the lives of freelance reporters in the Cambodian city, who spend their nights chasing grisly scenes in the car-crash capital of the world.
The film is produced and directed by James Dougan and Max Cutting. The executive producer for RFP is David Allain, with Rankin as senior executive producer, and Jordan Rossi as associate producer. The executive producer for DocHeads is Katharine Round. After premiering at Doc Heads, the film will launch on the Hunger site on Monday 29th February.
Screening alongside “Nightcrawlers of Phnom Penh” is a fantastic line-up of films, including “Men Buy Sex” (directed by Alice Russell, produced by Fat Rat Films), “The Long Haul” (directed by Chloe White) and “Spinning in Soweto” (directed by Nick Ahlmark).
Don’t miss this very special event! From 6.30pm, Monty’s Brick Lane.
