The Grierson Trust commemorates the pioneering Scottish documentary maker John Grierson: the man widely regarded as the father of the documentary. Each year, The Trust celebrates the best documentary filmmaking from Britain and around the world with the British Documentary Awards - more fondly known as the Griersons - as well as encouraging factual TV talent through its Grierson DocLab and Grierson DocLab In Focus: Editing and Production Management training and mentoring schemes.

The core Grierson DocLab scheme will open for 2022 applications shortly. Please sign up to the newsletter and follow us on social media for updates.
