Docs by the Sea 2022 wouldn't happen without the initiation and generous support from @Kemenparekraf; the co-organisation from #Docmonde and @FFDjogja; the support from @IFI_Indonesia, @GI_Indonesien, Franco–German Cultural Fund, Taiwan Docs, Film ASEAN, Purin Pictures.

We couldn't have done it without you! 🤗

The last 1,5 months have been a very inspiring journey for us. It was a great honour to witness such a lively and intense creative process from docu-filmmakers all over the world.

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

Please stay hungry, and stay creative ✨

We wish the best of luck for your projects, and hope to see more of you next year! 😉

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

as well as Taiwan Docs, Film ASEAN, Purin Pictures for their support 🙏🏻

We hope these Awards will give the filmmakers the fuel to continue sailing with their stories. Onwards and upwards, everyone!

Turns out, there are patterns and layers to her journey that are waiting to be polished ✨

Sounds familiar, folks? Share with us 😉

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

A solo journey it is, but you don't have to row the boat alone 🚣‍♀️

At first, our Storytelling Lab participant Angeline Teh didn't expect to have much to share from her story... until she heard feedback from the mentors.

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

It's. Always. Crazy.

That's the three words that came up from Lin Sun Oo, our Creative Producing Lab participant, when we asked about his DBTS experience! 🤣

We'll be back with more thoughts from filmmakers, folks. Stay tuned! 😉

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

During the mentoring session, we must admit, we were awestruck to see her amount of footages! We hope that the lab has been helpful for her, as well as for other participants, in making their documentaries see the light 🤞🏻

Stay tuned for more stories from our Lab participants!

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

What keeps you hooked to your story, folks? How long has your story's journey been for you?

For our Taiwanese Editing Lab participant, @YatingHsu1020, it was 17 years ago since she first started to shoot the story about a leprosy village in ISLAND OF THE WINDS.

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

Your journey will always be unique to you. But never forget, you don't have to do it all alone. We're here for you, DBTS alumni and fellow docu-filmmakers! For now that's a wrap for DBTS Labs 👏🏻 See you again on DBTS Forum in August!

[docsbythesea @docsbythesea]

It's time to row the boat, together 🌊

Isn't it invigorating to hear stories and experiences from industry experts? Aside from the Labs for our selected filmmakers, DBTS hosted public webinars covering the drills on documentary filmmaking from end to end.

We're also glad to have DBTS 2017 alumnus @hlaing_snow sharing her journey in creating MIDWIVES, which premiered in Sundance Film Festival and broadcast in POV by PBS. ✈️
