Through 13 days (20th July – 2nd of August 2023) young people from various ethnic, national, cultural, and social backgrounds will examine how we can as documentary filmmakers participate in public life through different media. The project will take place in Krško (Slovenia).
Through the practical workshops on the making of short video documentaries, young people will gain media-making skills enabling them to establish a more effective public voice. Our products – video and film documentaries – will be presented at the final public projection, followed by a discussion. Later they will be shown on different film festivals, public projections, and the internet.
Through the project, we hope to promote and develop a larger capacity of communication between individuals from different cultures, a more flexible attitude to the context of cultural diversity in Slovenia as well as in other European countries, and the recognitionof the common heritage of humanity.
Projections of films made by young people
In the evenings we will have projections of films made by participants in their countries. Projections will be followed by discussions with the authors. Those of you who have films that you would like to show, please tell us in advance that we can prepare the timetables
Workshop
The main activity running through all the projects will be Documentary Film Workshop. The idea is that in the first 1-2 days we will have introduct
ion lessons, searching and discussing the potential themes – ideas for documentaries, later we will split in small groups 3-4 people and start shooting. The last few days wi
ll be time to edit it. There will be mentors – film directors Želimir Žilnik, Miha Možina, Marko Cvejić, Boris Petkovič … DOP Jure Černec, Tadej Pernuš and editors Rožana Švara, Marija Kovačina, Nemanja Babić … who will support you in all phases of filmmaking.
The main idea for selecting the topics for workshop films&videos is the reflection of society by young people. At the same time, these will be expressions about you, who you are, what you are into, what you stand for… The way how we produce, consume, and react to media can be dramatically different. All those differences
will be built in our workshop products.
We would like to stimulate you to have your own ideas for the topics of workshop films. Something that you believe is important and you would like to show to a wider audience. Something that you believe should be more visible and discussed in the public. Something that in mainstream media doesn’t have eno
ugh publicity and you believe that should deserve it.
As sometimes might be difficult to find the idea in such a short time, especially in a new environment, we will invite some locals who will present some ideas and suggestions for possible topics.
Equipment
We have a few small mostly HD camcorders and DSLR’s and computers for editing. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough equipment for all of you, so it will be necessary to share between the groups.Those of you who have your own equipment (camcorders, tripods, microphones, laptops…) please bring it. In that case, you will be much more independent, you won’t need to wait for the equipment.
There will be rooms to lock the equipment, there is also an alarm in the building where we will have editing rooms.
Final projection
At the end (1st of August) will be the public projection of films that we will make.
