The Journey of Documentary has won 3 international awards: Silver: Best Video Short Film documentary Bronze: Best Website Training and E-Learning, and an Outstanding Achievement Award: Best Educational Interactive Website.
This is an online interactive documentary about how to make an online interactive documentary. It is an initiative which has been borne out of my Masters Research undertaking at AFTRS titled, Documentary Producing and Interactive Platforms: Opportunities, Evolving Processes and the Changing Craft. My hopes for this site are that it is used as a resource for emerging filmmakers and generates conversation around transmedia & interactive multiplatforms for documentary/storytelling and acts as a hub for collaborations and networking opportunities world wide.
The website hosts a web series called ‘The Journey of Documentary’, with featured interviews from professional documentary filmmakers/radio, social media experts, games developers, artists, academics and innovators of documentary. It also hosts an online test screening cinema and a crowd sourced timeline. Subscribe to this website to receive updates about interviews as they are uploaded or ‘Like Us’ on Facebook. www.facebook.com/TheJourneyOfDocumentary
I hope you find this resource to be valuable and I encourage you to become part of this online filmmaking community by posting your comments, ideas and revelations.
You can send an email to thejourneyofdocumentary@gmail.com or join the forum with topics of discussion.
Look forward to the sharing innovations.

Brilliant idea Atalanti! I look forward to seeing the doco develop.
I have a background in interactive multimedia and other non-linear forms of storytelling, such as virtual conversational agents, and am current completing a Graduate Certificate in Documentary at AFTRS in Sydney. So … I’m coming to this ‘journey of documentary’ from the opposite direction. It’s been fascinating so far.
Hi Glenys
Glad you like it. Documentary is truly a wonderful medium to be working in as I have found it allows you to work and bring so many mediums together, the imagination is the only thing that limits us in this space.
Have fun with the Grad Cert, look forward to seeing your work.
Kindest Regards Atalanti
Hello Atalanti
I am a current doctoral student in Computer Science Emerging Media with a concentration in Interactive Documentaries. This field is new to me, although I have worked in linear documentaries and television in the past. I am currently working on my literature review and am already recognizing some of our mutual findings. I will check back frequently and also get involved when I can.
Thank you for your work.

I look forward to connecting with you again.
