The "reel wiki" is a documentary wiki launched by the European documentary networking platform reelisor and edited by its members as well as any other interested users. Our vision is to create a documentary industry guide, a user-generated platform with content from all over the globe and knowledge sharing at its best.
The "reel wiki" is based on the open-source MediaWiki software. The concept of the international Wiki encyclopedia allows everybody - registered and unregistered users - to contribute to the website as an author or editor. With the help of the doc film community, this wiki will grow slowly but steadily. It will become a complex guide for filmmakers, newcomers, experts, training initiatives, distributors, for anybody connected to the docu film business.
It's non-profit, it's complex, it's inspiring - It's up to you!
The "reel wiki" is accessible by everybody, at any time and from anywhere in the world. It is a user-generated, up-to-date online resource with relevant content from the documentary film business. The "reel wiki" answers to questions you always wanted to ask. Here you can find information on funding, documentary training, filmmaking, literature, genres, festivals, markets and much more. Together with other Reelisors and interested users you can expand, modify or rebuild the wiki and thus contribute to the creation of a special-interest wikipedia with high-quality content and topics you are really interested in.
