Attention all documentarians: IFP Documentary Rough Cut Lab is accepting entries for its 2007 program, running from Nov. 6 to Nov. 9 in NYC. Now in its second year, the program teams 10 docs and their novice creators with experienced professionals to explore post-production possibilities and prepare the piece for festival submission. The submission deadline is Sept. 10.

Afraid you won’t make the cut? Head down to SoHo House on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. to talk with the experienced panelists of Industry Connect: Film Fest Strategy. Learn from their advice and personal experiences on how best to strategize your first foray into film fests.

And if you’re still in the planning stages, check out Nick Dawson’s blurb on three docs shown at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. While LYNCH will inspire you with its stylistic journey through the creation of David Lynch’s Inland Empire, the latter two (Run, Granny, Run and What Would Jesus Buy?) will provide some cautionary notes to work from. Good luck.
