Every year, EduDoc - our international short film competition, brings the stories of education and the impact of policy on everyday education practice, into the spotlight. Earlier this year, we also launched the first edition of the Edudoc Film and Policy Fellowship, a unique mentorship based documentary-making fellowship program for education and film enthusiasts. With a cohort of 8 committed fellows, rigorously selected from a pool of 61 applications from 14 countries the program offered a two-month training in education policy and the essentials on film-making. 'Vikiran' by Mritunjay Sharma from India won the Best Fellow-Film Award at Edudoc 2018.
