Doc Heads is a short documentary screening and networking night in East London created to encourage filmmakers to get together and form collaborations. It was started by a group of independent producers who met whilst making docs for Current.
Two years later the event is still growing and every two months Doc Heads screen the best short docs made by the huge pool of creative talent in the documentary film world in an intimate and inclusive environment.
Now, Current TV has asked them to share the Doc Heads experience and bring the event directly into your home with Doc Heads Presents…
Hosted by founding member, Tristan Anderson, the show selects five of Doc Heads' favourite recent short documentaries and features exclusive introductions and backstories from the filmmakers themselves.

Film synopsis:
Fazilla dreams of representing her country at an international sporting event
when she grows up. The only catch is that she is a skateboarder and lives in
Afghanistan.
Skateistan: To Live and Skate Kabul is a beautiful, verité style 16mm film about
the lives of two young skateboarders from Afghanistan. Twelve-year-old Fazilla
deals daily with the hardships of selling chewing gum on the street and the
general discrimination Afghani girls face. However, when she is skateboarding,
she forgets all her problems. Murza, a 16-year-old boy who has known nothing
but a lifetime of war, cannot see the violent situation changing any time soon.
But through participation in the Skateistan project, he has been able to give up
working at a car wash and now has high hopes for both himself and his
country’s future.
The Skateistan project is Afghanistan’s – and the world’s – first co-educational
skateboarding school. The school engages growing numbers of urban
and internally-displaced youth through skateboarding, and provides them
with new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction, education and personal
empowerment. In a country with innumerable problems, Skateistan represents
an oasis where children can be children and where they can build the kinds of
cross-cultural/class relationships that Afghanistan needs for future stability.
Intimate and challenging in its portrayal of the children’s stories and stunningly
shot, Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is an inspiring story from a country
that is mostly in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Peter, however, has other ideas. Peter and Ben is a touching and quirky story of how two "black-sheep" form an unusual and enduring bond.
