TEEN DOC WORKSHOP PROGRAMMe 2025
19 – 25 AUGUST 2025, POŽEGA (SERBIA)
Participants of the Teen Doc Workshop will have the opportunity to learn about creative documentary filmmaking and media literacy from experienced experts from Serbia and the region, while also taking part in the production of short documentaries. In addition, they will be part of the Youth Jury of the Interaction Festival, which takes place at the same time as the Workshop.
The Teen Doc Workshop is carried out in two phases:
1. Phase One (July – August, online)
Online workshops – During July and August, two online workshops will be held, giving participants the chance to get to know each other and gain basic knowledge in media literacy.
The media literacy workshop will be led by Ikonija Jeftić, a producer and teaching assistant at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade.
2. Phase Two (19–25 August, in person – Požega)
Documentary film production – Over the course of this seven-day workshop in Požega, participants will acquire knowledge and skills in creative documentary filmmaking in an engaging, hands-on way. Through teamwork and with the support of mentors and consultants, they will create four short documentaries (each up to 7 minutes long), going through the entire process – from the initial idea to the final version of the film.
The documentaries will be produced under the mentorship of award-winning director Luka Papić from Belgrade, with additional guidance from consultants – Darko Basheski, cinematographer from Skopje, and Dejan Petrović, director and professor at the Academy of Arts in Belgrade. They will also be supported by peer educators, former Teen Doc participants – Matija Štifanić (camera student) and Srđa Čvorović (directing student).
The Youth Jury Award – Festival Interaction
Participants of the Teen Doc Workshop will take on the role of the Youth Jury of the Interaction Festival, which takes place simultaneously with the Workshop. Teen Doc participants will have the opportunity to watch outstanding short documentaries from around the world at the Interaction Festival and, from the 15 films in the competition programme, select the one to receive the Youth Jury Award for Best Film.
