Just before June we launched a new phase of our Doc Next partnership – The Doc Next Media Labs. In the past, we’ve run individual bursary schemes with the Doc Next Network, giving young filmmakers a small bursary and professional mentoring to create new documentaries for the Doc Next Network (Follow the link to see these impressive films). However, as the project has progressed, we felt these individual projects weren’t as sustainable as we’d like. It’s good to support young people making new films, but we felt we could do more to nurture their talent and help them become professional filmmakers.
We therefore decided to launch the Doc Next Media Lab. Rather than work with 4 or so individuals at a time on single projects, we are now working with a group of 8 talented young filmmakers, offering them documentary mentoring, technical training and multiple opportunities to create new works with a £1500 total budget.
With mentors Phillip Warnell (Kingston University) and Kwame Lestrade (Franklyn Lane Film) on board, as well as technical assitance from Tea Films, the group will meet regularly over a period of 6 months, creating new work, visiting industry companies and learning about documentary, before having a final showcase in December.
To push our participants in at the deep end, after just 2 weeks Kwame Lestrade ran a 2 day workshop with the Labs participants, going through the life cycle of a documentary in 2 days, from conception to completion. The final films blew us away, and we were impressed by what our young media makers had produced. You can check them out here:

Hi, I am Vivian Paulissen (1970, Netherlands), Programme Manager Youth & Media of the European Cultural Foundation (ECF). I am responsible for the forging of partnerships between innovative cultural organisations and young media talents in five different countries in Europe, now known as the Doc Next Network.
Graduated in 1996 from Utrecht University in Latin America Studies, I specialised in the role of the media and soaps in society. Since then, I have been working on the crossroads between media, culture and society in many different countries around the world, especially with regards to public imagery and representation and inclusiveness. Before joining the ECF in 2010, I was a policy advisor at the Mondriaan Foundation for Dutch Visual Arts, Design and Cultural Heritage and the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development where I managed the Artistic Productions Programme and set up a new network programme with artists, thinkers and cultural organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. I have been involved in many international media and culture projects, like the Havana Biennial, VideoBrasil, Filmfestival Rotterdam and the Zanzibar Filmfestival.
Menno Weijs (1981, Netherlands) is Project Officer Youth & Media at the European Cultural Foundation and takes care of the daily coordination of Doc Next Network.
Graduated in 2006 from Groningen University in History and Journalism, I specialised in the role of the media in national identification processes on the Balkans. I’m interested in the way media define borders and spaces, centers and peripheries – literally, but also in people’s minds. In my professional life I was always challenging these constructions by facilitating cultural exchange and connecting local underground scenes. Doc Next Network gives me the opportunity to continue with this mission on a bigger scale.

Doc Next Network is a unique community of media-makers, educators, programmers, researchers and innovators that have come together as a movement, capturing the views of young Europeans media-makers, to redefine and re-imagine documentary within the shifting borders of Europe. We strive for social justice and inclusive public opinion in Europe. We are active in the UK, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Turkey and connected to other parts of Europe and its neighbours. We highlight the work of a new generation of media-makers that show what Europe is really about: a complex space for encounters and (shifting) borders.
We create a link between the traditional media and the constantly developing world of free culture. We use open licenses. We look for new ways to develop our work.
We believe in the importance of a safe space, and our workshops are a playground for Do-It-Yourself media-makers to experiment with their craft and to learn from their mistakes.
We believe that the greatest documentarists show two virtues; the patient-eye and the tender-eye. We are patient with our work, waiting for entire events to unfold in front of us whilst we document them, giving pause for reflection, and we are tender towards our subjects, sympathising with them and empowering them as we capture their realities.
Across our hubs we have a vast range of skills developedthrough years of hands-on experience that means we are the right people to come together and strive to reach our common goals. These are:• To strive for a more inclusive public debate and imagery in and about Europe;
• To champion the idea of commons and present experiences across Europe, regardless of religion, ethnicity and social background;
• To advocate for young people and to promote the fact thatyoung people also have stories to tell, and these stories are important; • To broaden perspectives of Europe, and to champion the idea that Europe is defined by similarities and proximities, not by borders and continents;
• To redefine and re-imagine the notion of ‘documentary’ and to promote documentary as a tool for communication as well as documentation.
Doc Next Network has a broad idea of Youth.
Doc Next Network has a broad idea of Media. Doc Next Network has a broad idea of Europe.
We represent that.
This is an account of Victoria Fioravante’s experiences at the Sheffield Doc/Fest with the Doc Next Network.
“On a glorious British summer’s day of spitting rain upon coats and scarves, the ‘Doc Next Team’, which consisted of two Spaniards from Zemos98, two Polish ladies from Association of Creative Initiatives “ę”, a Turk from Mode Istanbul and two Londoners, arrived at Sheffield. Among visible signs of a film festival – posters everywhere, people rushing with Sheffield Doc bags, open-air screens and quite a lot of excitement – we entered without any expectations, not knowing what events we’d go to, what we would see, whether we would indeed be able to watch any films at all…
“After a pit-stop in a charming hotel (Thank you Doc Next Network!), it was straight onto the Documentary Workshop ‘Life’s a Pitch’ . After a brief sequence of games and laughs to get to know the talented members of the Second Light scheme, it was onto serious business. Andy Glynne, clinical psychologist turned executive producer of Mosaic Films and member of the Documentary Filmmakers Group, provided an excellent and inspirational speech on the hurdles, difficulties and successes of giving a pitch and what was most important; Narrative, Characterisation, the all-important question “What am I going to see?”, Access, and Demographics. His receptiveness, humour and enthusiasm were exceptional and I thoroughly enjoyed being there – especially when it came to the screenings of the short documentaries ‘Dekay’s Guide to the Estates‘ and ‘I Speak Hinglish‘. Then, after a few team exercises, we were left to our own devices to come up with a pitch that would be presented the next day – one by one, nerve-wrecking stuff. This would be the first time I’d ever presented or even prepared a pitch, so the pressure was most definitely on.
“The 24 hours I had to think of and plan my pitch were reduced to a measly hour in the middle of the night; there were too many great films and events on offer to do my time doing anything else! Our trip wasn’t only about pitching, it also involved a good deal of freedom to explore and investigate the festival. Of course, there were brilliant films – my favourites included ‘Putin’s Kiss‘ (Lisa Berk Pederson, 2011), ‘Planet of Snail‘ (Seungjun Yi, 2011), and ‘Call me Kuchu‘ (Zouhali-Worrall and Fairfax Wright, 2012). Then there were other events and talks, ranging from documentary distribution to filming in the Balkans, from Music Rights to Women in TV, interviews and – best of all – real Pitching competitions. The WorldView / Community Channel Live Pitch moved me the most – Intense pitching in action by six immensely talented applicants competing for a chance to win £10,000 to film a positive story of women in the developing world. After this, the Doc Next pitches would be a walk in the park!
“I was fully aware that there would be three industry experts (Daisy Asquith, documentary film-maker, Emma Hindley, freelance executive producer, and Ravi Amaratunga, head of Creative Diversity at Channel 4) evaluating and assessing our pitches the next day, but what I didn’t know was that there would also be a live audience – and quite a big one. Neither did I expect Matt Cuzner (of BFI fame) frantically waving signs at us with a cheeky yet embarrassed little grin. I guess he wanted to ‘help us’ by increasing the pressure. I was last in line to present, and I was pleased to see that my idea created some controversy among the panel after which a lively debate followed – which was great to see. Since then, I’ve followed up my idea with members of the panel who have encouraged me to film a teaser for my idea and to send it back to them. Then, it was on to networking in many different ways; from new talent drinks and receptions to the all important, leg-breaking Roller Disco!
“Sadly, this was the last night of our intense two-day trip. However, I’ve taken a lot from Sheffield. Andy Glynne’s motivational insights, my first ever experience pitching an idea of mine to a live audience, and most of all the opportunity to meet a group of inspiring and immensely talented group of people from all over Europe with whom I fully plan to work with in the future. And was Sheffield Doc Fest worthwhile? There is no doubt about it. I’ll see you there next year.”
European Souvenirs, a project by Doc Next Network, wants to re-conquer European imaginary. Remix techniques help us not only to understand the past, but also a way of re-writing our past.
Doc Next Network is working on European Souvenirs an independent, process-oriented, investigative, collaborative, innovative and high quality multi-media project that will shake up our minds and our prevailing imagery of the places we live in. The project is commissioned by the European Cultural Foundation in its quest for new European inspiring narratives, and designed by ZEMOS98 (Spain).
VJs, or any artist who takes on the precepts of contemporariety as proposed by Marcel Duchamp and his ready-mades, uses the material at hand as a source of inspiration. The copying, manipulation and representation of the real includes images from films, DVDs, video clips and video games.
In an interview by ZEMOS98 about his remix of D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation, the musician and philosopher Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky said: “the profile of the DJ is already established in our minds, which is why the art of the 20th Century has become the inspiration for the art of the 21st century”.
In
Augustine of Hippo identifies three times:
“(…) a present of things past, a present of things present, and a present of things future. (…) The present of things past is memory, the present of things present is sight, and the present of things future is expectation”.
Loop
The greatest video remixer of history of video art is precisely the father of video art, its most famous pioneer: Nam June Paik. On the 1st of January 1984, artists from all over the world were invited to participate in a global satellite project called Good Morning Mr. Orwell as a tribute to George Orwell.
Paik’s main concern was to create an international product made up of a mix of synthesized images that he would remix together in real time. This work was the first television zapping experience involving Eastern and Western images, because Paik structured the tape as a collage of images. Paik’s collages –said Jean Paul Fargier – tend to infinity.
“Culture is an endless palimpsest”, according to Roland Barthes: no tradition, no memory, no myth is ultimate: the process of communication is endless indeed. “All creative works are derivative”, Nina Paley explains.
Our media landscape (Antoni Muntadas) is full of texts, audios, videos and pictures: a constant loop that puts together and build a common imaginary, that is, a cultural, symbolic and token dimension of norms, traditions, rituals, values, institutions, laws and symbols that a society has in common, respect and works as a frame for the ways of living together.
European Souvenirs departs from the convention of the traditional audiovisual memoire: the (media) archive. This process-oriented media project researches and translates a combination of media archives from different european institutions to show on the stage the connections between European media landscape and its social imaginaries, dealing with the representation of european identity, experience and tradition.
Inspired by avant-garde art movement philosophy, by its experimental techniques like the collage, influenced by expanded, abstract and live cinema and radically linked to the paradigm of remix culture, European Souvenirs retrieves media documents to implement, reconcile and capture the imagination of Europe.
Re-loop
Remix as a new cultural paradigm: memory, fiction, utopia and archive. Archives become treasures to be discovered, overwhelmed by the information age. European Souvenirs is a unique archive and source of media documents that tell other or important stories (not visible for the mainstream media): it can bring those stories to another stage, remixed in a highly qualitative live cinema performance that will tour in different countries. In a constant process of interaction, found images from the past produce new ideas:
“You don’t have to look for new images that have never been seen, but you have to work on existing images in a way that makes them new. There are various paths. Mine is to look for the buried sense, and to clear away the rubble lying on top of the images.” (Harun Farocki).
Chroma key(a photographic compositing technique based on the separation of colors in the original images)
Remix culture is much more than an artistic antecedent based on the idea of surrealist collage. Remix culture is much more than an audio sampling technique inspired by the origins of phonography and highlighted by Djs since the 80s. Remix is deeply embedded in our culture and influences the intersection of education, communication, culture and politics. European Souvenirs artists will tend to become invisible as the creators of the work.
Once the show begins, the home-videos and other found material from the archives will be suddenly charged with meaning not intended by the original producers. Techniques like sampling, dub, assemblage, collage, remix, chroma key or scratch are applicable to this particular project because of the availability of this ready-made material from the archives we work with.
Fade in (audio or video effect used to begin a sample in total silence or darkness and gradually increase the audio signal or lighten a shot to full brightness)
It makes sense for the European Souvenirs project to become archaeologists of image and sound in order to keep up with our age and to transform old footage in new and meaningful media. The souvenir as «a memento, keepsake or token of remembrance» is the core of the project. Apparently disconnected, a chaos of souvenirs is re-organized through remix techniques to capture completely new and updated visions and ways of imaging the society we live in.
Wipe(one shot replaces another following a 2-dimension pattern)
European Souvenirs champions the idea of a multi-layer reality woven of diverse identities, experiences and traditions. European Souvenirs represents that complex idea by a multimedia, collaborative, work-in-progress project which is characterised by the use of found footage and multi-layered rhythms. Remix techniques help us not only to understand the past, but also a way of re-writing our past.
Scratch(a video editing technique as a variation of moving a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable)
“We need history, but not the way a spoiled loafer in the garden of knowledge needs it.” (Nietzsche, Of the Use and Abuse of History). “New techniques for our past and history, which are themselves our future.” (Walter Benjamin). European Souvenirs wants to re-conquer the destiny of present-day European imagination of itself.
Copy & Paste
“Our markets, our democracy, our science, our traditions of free speech, and our art all depend more heavily on a Public Domain of freely available material than they do on the informational material that is covered by property rights. The Public Domain is not some gummy residue left behind when all the good stuff has been covered by property law. The Public Domain is the place we quarry the building blocks of our culture. It is, in fact, the majority of our culture.” (James Boyle, The Public Domain).
WHEN
European Souvenirs is a live cinema performance that will be staged for the first time at Imagining Europe on Saturday, 6 October 2012 at the renowned cultural space De Balie in Amsterdam, and will tour afterwards in different countries across Europe and beyond.
MORE ABOUT EUROPEAN SOUVENIRS
The artists work with audiovisual material from leading European institutions that have opened up their archives for this project: Eye Film Institute (Amsterdam), Institute for Sound and Image (Amsterdam), OVNI Archives (Barcelona) and Filmoteca de Andalucía (Córdoba), Digital National Archive (Warsaw), SALT (Istanbul) and the British Film Institute (London).
Curated by Spanish artists and remix experts of ZEMOS98, European Souvenirs will be created by an artistic ensemble of five European media-makers that were born during the decades of the 1980’s and later in Spain, Poland, UK, Turkey and the Netherlands. They have different profiles complementing each other as media artists, performers, 3D animators, documentarians, musicians, DJs and VJs.
The audience will enjoy an audiovisual journey through the re-interpretation of home and institutional archives. This performance aims to capture the views of a new generation of media-makers to address key concerns and issues of the Europe we live in for a broad audience in Europe and beyond.
A 90-minute short documentary selection from the ever-expanding Doc Next Media Collection will be screened at Documentarist 2012 Documentary Festival in Istanbul today!

8 Doc Next Network media-makers, selected by our hubs from the UK, Turkey, Spain and Poland will visit Sheffield Doc /Fest this year. Sheffield Doc/Fest brings the international documentary family together to celebrate the art and business of documentary making for five intense days in June. Doc/Fest is a film festival, industry session programme and market place, offering pitching opportunities, controversial discussion panels and in-depth filmmaker masterclasses, as well as a wealth of inspirational documentary films from across the globe.
Participants receive basic training in how to pitch documentary ideas, as well as getting expert feedback on their techniques, building confidence and media literacy skills;
Participants get the opportunity to experience one of the worlds largest and most important documentary festivals and get ideas of future career paths;
Participants network with other young filmmakers from Doc Next Network Hubs, as well as young filmmakers from the Second Light programme Life’s a Pitch, working together in the workshop, and then also spending time together outside of the workshop, promoting international networking and knowledge exchange;
Participants get to watch range of documentary films and attend masterclasses and activities on Documentary making, increasing their Media Literacy and giving them the opportunity to discuss and debate some of the documentaries screened.
Life’s a Pitch
Life’s a Pitch is a lively pitching panel event for young people on talent and skills development schemes, Second Light (supported by The Grierson Trust) and the Doc Next Network. Come along to hear fresh, diverse voices and new ideas from different perspectives.
Second Light Doc Lab participants will be demonstrating their skills of persuasion in front of an industry panel, with Doc Next attendees pitching ideas that capture the views of young European media-makers today.
On the first day the participants will be trained in pitching techniques, and helped to develop ideas for a pitch, then on the second day they will pitch these ideas to a panel of industry professionals and live audience that can give them feedback on both their ideas and their pitching technique.
It’s similar to the Winning Pitch event held at the Future Film Festival, but spread over 2 days instead of 1.5 hours, so they will be given much more support and time to develop their ideas. This also won’t be a competition, and there will be no prize, unlike our event, with all participants getting detailed and constructive feedback on their work.
Doc Next at Industry area
A selection of Doc Next Network films are screened in the video booth in the industry arena.
Are you our new intern? By joining our Youth and Media team you will be supporting the collaboration between Doc Next Network and IDFA (assisting in production, research and developing our online media collection). This internship is open to students of media or journalistic disciplines and runs for a period of four months from the beginning of September 2012.
Five young European media-makers have now started work on European Souvenirs, a unique international remix project. It is commissioned by ECF, in the framework of Doc Next Network.
During the next few months, the artists will be taking up residencies in Seville, Istanbul, Warsaw and Amsterdam, where they will work with audiovisual materials from different European archives, looking into a more inclusive and complete idea of Europe. By re-mixing this media, they will review, re-investigate and re-consider prevailing imagery of (im)migrants in European societies and re-map Europe visually, geographically and mentally.
The artists work with audiovisual material from leading European institutions who have opened up their archives for this project: Eye Film Institute (Amsterdam), OVNI Archives and Filmoteca de Andalucía (Seville), Digital National Archive (Warsaw), SALT (Istanbul) and the British Film Institute (London).
The first residency took place from 17 to 22 April in Seville, with Spanish artist Fernando Malaventura coordinating the process. European Souvenirs will come together in a unique live cinema performance, premiering at ECF’s Imagining Europe event in Amsterdam in October 2012.
To check out what the five artists are doing, go to europeansouvenirs.eu to see their progress and results!
