DocJam

​DocJam: Coffee, Chats, Documentary and Snacks 🎬 ☕ 🍩

​DocJam is a new community with one purpose, to make documentaries happen.

​Working in partnership with The London Documentary Network, our first gathering will take place on Sunday 22 November from 10am for a relaxed morning of coffee, conversation, documentary and - naturally - some jam-inspired snacks. Yes, there will be doughnuts! 🍩

​Arrive anytime from 10am for coffee, tea, snacks and a chance to meet other documentary makers and enthusiasts. We’ll spend the morning hanging out, getting to know each other and hearing what people are working on.

​Then we’ll head into the cinema at BLOC, Queen Mary University of London - a 60-seat cinema with 4K projection and Dolby Atmos sound - to screen a documentary made by one of our community members.

​After the film, we’ll host a Q&A and discussion with the filmmaker, with the emphasis firmly on encouragement, and supporting the process of making documentaries.

​Future DocJam screenings will showcase more films from within the community too, so if you’ve made something you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you.
