Netflix funding for new documentaries returns

Netflix has announced its documentary talent fund will return for a second year.

The streaming giant will give five successful filmmakers £30,000 each and the chance to make a short documentary film with the help of Netflix and other professionals.

Jason Osborne and Precious Mahaga, who were jointly announced as one of the 10 UK filmmakers last year to receive £40,000, made Love Languages, which has been longlisted for best British short film by Bafta.

Entries are open from today until Feb 16.
