Are you young and do you think you can change the world? Bring this feeling to the Exploration Workshop! This is the first step to making change. What could be more challenging than someone telling you that you can make a film in five days? No, it’s not easy. It is difficult, it is exhausting, but it is possible. And more than that, it is interesting, creative, motivating, and exciting! It is an intensive program to learn how to make a film while you make a film!
Theory is important, but practice is just as important. Together with the workshop tutors , you will learn the basics of documentary filmmaking, and immediately plunge into making your own short documentary. It is a workshop in which your participation is important, your ideas are applicable, and change can be made by anyone.
During this time you will learn a lot, not only about film, but about yourself, your limits, the strength of your convictions, how to communicate with people, courage, and creativity.
Apply for the Exploration Workshop because the world is constantly changing. Be part of it!
