The Canadian Film Centre (CFC) and National Film Board (NFB) have recently announced the confirmation of four Canadian directors who will participate in the inaugural CFC/NFB Feature Documentary Program. The program was designed to allow accomplished Canadian directors develop cinematic documentaries. Among this year's chosen honorees are Yung Chang, Sarah Polley, Shelley Saywell and John Walker. The six-month program not only provides the directors a residency with the CFC but also a project-specific mentorship with the biggest talents in the documentary world.
