DCTV Workshops is in a moment of transition. As we close out the current workshop season, we’re focusing on the fundamentals, dialing in your camera skills from frame rates to composition, and breaking down what it actually takes to fund your work through documentary grant writing.

At the same time, we’re also opening the door to what’s next: our Summer Season!

The new season kicks off May 30 with Lighting Fundamentals, bringing a refreshed lineup of workshops designed to go deeper, get more hands-on, and support you at every stage of the process. If you’ve been looking for a sign to start (or restart), Workshops is here for you!

Since the war in Gaza and the expanding occupation of the West Bank, a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians feels more distant than ever. In this Emmy-nominated three-part series from The Guardian, reporter Matthew Cassel travels along the 1949 Armistice border, or ‘Green Line’, once seen as the best hope for a resolution. He meets Palestinians and Israelis living just kilometers apart, but shaped by vastly different realities. 

Thu May 28, 7pm: Join us for this special one-night screening of ALONG THE GREEN LINE followed by a Q&A with reporter Matthew Cassel, cinematographer Ayman Abu Ramouz, and producer and editor Kyri Evangelou.
