BRITDOC’s Luke Moody joins us to bring his curatorial eye to the first Film of the Month competition for the new year.

BRITDOC is a non-profit foundation that finds innovative ways to fund and distribute challenging and important documentaries, and, as Film and Distribution Manager, Luke works across the film funds and filmmaker outreach programmes for them, as well as curating the organisation’s digital platform ‘Something Real’, and coordinating distribution of completed features.

Recently, he’s worked on Richard Rowley’s important investigative expose Dirty Wars and Laura Poitra’s much lauded Edward Snowden doc CITIZENFOUR (both Academy Award-nominated, we should add), as well as connected artist commissions such as James Bridle’s Drone Shadows and Trevor Paglen’s Code Names of the Surveillance State and Circles.

With BRITDOC, Luke helps to get great boundary-blurring, formally disruptive documentaries made and seen, and we’re very excited to hear his takes on the best new films from our community. Whether fiction, documentary or hybrid of the two forms, Luke will have some interesting feedback to offer.

Get your short film entries in before Jan 14th to be in for a chance of winning the first Film of the Month competition of the new year.
