FourDocs is an ingenious method of showcasing Documentary films on the web.
For those of you who are youtubed-out, there's a refreshing collection of documentary shorts at a site called FourDocs, a clever project initiated and maintained by the UK's public-broadcaster Channel Four Television. The premise of the site is to encourage the making of documentary films by challenging filmmakers to make documentary films that are only four minutes long, and allowing those films to be uploaded onto the site for public viewing. If you are a new filmmaker, the site also has a constructive guide to making documentary films as well as a timeline that chronicles the history of documentary films in the UK.
