The Workshop My First Documentary film returns in 2021, opening the submissions for high school students from local schools who are curious to find out and to learn about the process of filmmaking. During the nine days of the workshop, the participants go through an intensive training that teaches them to understand the complexity of filmmaking, which will contribute to the deeper understanding of cinematic and audiovisual products to which they are exposed. Moreover, participants learn about screenwriting, filming and editing, and in the practical modules, they are faced with actually implementing these concepts.
The Workshop is organised in collaboration with the Association Vira that specialises in offering training in filmmaking and have conducted several workshops of this kind across the country. Some of the short documentaries produced during the workshops have won awards at film festivals and a selection has been included in Cannes` Festival Short Film Corner.
