The workshop consists of two complementary modules. You can join either module separately or take both as a complete journey from filming to editing.
MODULE 1 — FILMING
19–20 September | 10:30–17:30

Learn how to turn an idea into visual material for a short documentary. Through practical exercises and guided shooting, you will work on interviews, B-roll, composition, light, sound and visual storytelling. You will film both indoors and outdoors and receive individual feedback.
MODULE 2 — EDITING
10–11 October | 10:30–17:30
€260
Learn how to transform raw footage into a short documentary. We will work on selecting footage, finding the story, structure, rhythm, interviews, B-roll, sound and music. The workshop uses DaVinci Resolve (free version), with a strong focus on storytelling.

BOTH MODULES — €499

Join the complete workshop and follow the process from capturing documentary material to shaping it into a finished short film.
No previous filmmaking or editing experience is required.

For Module 1, you can work with a camera or your mobile phone.
The workshops are limited to 6–8 participants to allow for individual guidance and feedback.
