Take your documentary filmmaking skills to the next level.
DoKKu is an intensive 13-day international documentary film workshop designed for young filmmakers (18–30) who have already made their first films or gained practical filmmaking experience and want to further develop their documentary storytelling skills under the guidance of internationally recognized film professionals.
Working in small international teams, participants will develop original documentary ideas, research stories, shoot on location, and edit a short documentary film—from the initial concept to the final public screening.
Throughout the workshop, participants receive individual mentoring from internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker Želimir Žilnik, documentary director Miha Možina, cinematographers Jure Černec and Tadej Pernuš, and editors Nemanja Babić and Rožana Švara. Their guidance supports every stage of the filmmaking process while encouraging participants to develop their own cinematic language and artistic voice.
The workshop encourages participants to explore contemporary social issues, personal perspectives, and stories that deserve greater public attention. We welcome filmmakers who are curious, socially engaged, and eager to experiment with documentary as a creative and critical medium.
Completed films will premiere at a public screening in Krško (Slovenia) and will later be presented at film festivals, community screenings, and online platforms.
Over the years, DoKKu has brought together emerging filmmakers from across Europe, many of whom have continued developing their careers in documentary filmmaking while building lasting international collaborations and professional networks.
The workshop is co-funded by the European Union, making participation free of charge for selected participants. Accommodation, meals and, where applicable, travel support are covered by the project.
Beyond filmmaking, DoKKu offers an inspiring international environment where participants exchange ideas, screen their previous works, discuss documentary cinema, and build lasting connections with fellow filmmakers from different cultural backgrounds.
If you are ready to challenge yourself, collaborate with other emerging filmmakers, and create a documentary film with the support of experienced mentors, DoKKu is the workshop for you.
