Film & Campaign has been providing services to the Moving Docs network since 2015, and for the 2018 edition we were pleased to become an official co-beneficiary of this Creative Europe-supported project.

Over the course of 2017, Film & Campaign’s continued collaboration with Moving Docs took major steps forward. Ben Kempas worked on a series of research projects, including the award-winning ‘Amplifier’ which proposed a radical new model for collectively leveraging campaign data. Alongside this, we delivered core elements of Moving Docs' campaign for FREE LUNCH SOCIETY – demonstrating that even a small budget can have a big impact when combined with a content-focused strategy.

2016 saw Film & Campaign deepen our relationship with Moving Docs, helping the network reach over two million people all across Europe. Moving Docs is a collaboration of niche documentary festivals, event organisers, and distributors from Nordic countries (Doclounge), Greece (Cinedoc), Austria (Autlook), Spain (Docs Barcelona), Germany (Dokfest Munich, Rise and Shine), Poland (Against Gravity), and many others. The initiative is coordinated by the European Documentary Network.

Over the course of the year, in collaboration with the wider Moving Docs family, we undertook a range of activities including an outreach workshop, online training sessions, building social media presence, content marketing, three central outreach campaigns, screenings on different media platforms and a crowdfunding campaign. All of this activity put us at the forefront of exploring innovative ways to foreground the participatory nature of the Moving Docs project, and increase the impact of its documentaries.
