ASIADOC is a project development program for Southeast Asian documentary filmmakers organized in collaboration with Docmonde. As the organizing partner for the Creative Scriptwriting program, Forum Film Dokumenter hosted a series of workshops designed to assist participants in developing their documentary projects through intensive writing, consultation, and mentoring.

This program brings filmmakers together with mentors, editors, and documentary practitioners from various countries to strengthen their research, narrative structure, and creative approaches to the projects they are developing. Through this collaborative process, participants are encouraged to refine their ideas while building professional networks within the Southeast Asian documentary ecosystem.
