Rough Cut Service

This year, Movies that Matter is organising its annual Rough-Cut Service for the fifth time! Several documentary projects from around the world are selected for the Movies that Matter Rough Cut Service 2025. They all address relevant and urgent topics and issues with great cinematic and narrative storytelling. 

During the festival, selected projects will meet privately with a panel of mentors with the aim of getting tailored feedback on their rough cuts and further improving the structure and narrative of their story. 

All projects are eligible for the The Docs Up Fund Award.

Selections will be announced in March.
