INTERACTION: TEEN DOC workshop

Interaction: Teen Doc Workshop is a seven-day educational programme designed for motivated high school students, eager to acquire additional knowledge on creative documentary filmmaking, expand their creative skills, as well as to engage with young talents from other countries. The Workshop will be held from the 20th to the 27th of August 2024 in the city of Užice (Serbia).

The workshop is preceded by several online meetings, held from May to July 2024. The workshop is meant for teenagers (ages 14-19) from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Albania, and Serbia.

The workshop is not only a unique opportunity for the teens to widen their creative skills and to provide a possibility of meeting other young talents, but it is also a rare chance to explore new forms of creativity and expression through documentary film. The workshop aims to improve the cooperation of young people from the area while offering a unique chance to encourage the enhancement of critical thinking among the young talents and their mobility and intercultural dialogue.

The  Interaction Teen Doc is organised by IFC Filmart, and with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Youth of the Republic of Serbia; the Swiss Government, as part of the Culture for Democracy project, which is implemented by the Hartefact Fund; the CEI – Central European Initiative; and by British Council and EU (as a member of EDU CUTS network) through the “Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans” (CC4WBs).

Interaction: Teen Doc Workshop is organized along with Interaction: short docs festival, Interaction: Student Film Camp, which gathers students of international film academies and Interaction: Doc Workshop, designed for film professionals.
