The Forum Network
The Forum Network features thousands of lectures by some of the world's foremost scholars, authors, artists, scientists, policy makers, and community leaders, available to everyone for free. Lectures are organized by Topics and Series that are aligned with public station local and national programs, when possible.
The Forum Network collaborates with hundreds of community partners in cities across the US, including libraries, museums, academic institutes, public lecture forums, public policy think tanks, cultural councils, and other community organizations.
The WGBH Lab
The WGBH Lab is a creative incubator. In an age where any screen — your TV, your computer, your cell phone, or PDA — is part of the media experience, we seek to develop content for these new "small screens."
The creative results of the Lab may appear on WGBH TV, wgbh.org and, as our partnerships expand, more broadly on PBS.
Pitch your story to Open Call, and take it from concept to completion. Sift through the Sand Box, loaded with rights-free archival footage. Or if you're ready to take your indie work to a new level, apply for a year as a filmmaker in residence.
