The 2012 International Documentary Challenge has begun! Right now, 90 teams from 10 countries around the world are making short documentaries using a randomly assigned genre and incorporating the theme: "Cycles."

No one knows where filmmakers will take their films until Monday when their films are completed. Seasons, washing machines, Bicycles, life cycles- wherever their imagination and filmmaking skills take them!

Stay up to date with filmmakers on the Doc Challenge Facebook page and on Twitter. Also check out the hashtag #5DayDoc
