Stranger Than Fiction '08

The Stranger Than Fiction (25-28 September) documentary film festival has announced its programme.

As usual there is a full schedule of international and Irish documentaries. In association with Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB), the festival has organised Stranger Than Fiction Pitch Perfect!, which is a training workshop and pitch events.

These will consist of an intensive training session with documentary expert Tue Steen Muller. One week after this, participants will get to put these pitching skills into practice in front of two expert panels made up of key players in the industry.

More information on how to apply for the workshop, and details about the festival, are available on the web site.
