Ice and Fire Docs documentary workshop 

Ice and Fire Docs is a creative documentary workshop for Estonian and Finnish filmmakers with international ambitions. Throughout the workshop the participants will work with different aspects of developing, producing, financing and distributing a feature length documentary film. Estonian and Finnish filmmakers can participate with a film project that is in development or in production.

The participants of the 2023 workshop are now published.

The creative director of the workshop is a well-known tutor Mikael Opstrup from Denmark. The second principal tutor is Jesper Osmund, an internationally renowned film editor and narrative consultant.

The workshop lasts for about a year and consists of three sessions. The duration of each session is three days. The first and second sessions focus on the development of narrative, visual aspects of storytelling and editing techniques. The last session has a focus on promotion and distribution. Two of the sessions take place in Estonia and one in Finland.
