About

The course Experimental Doc Level 2, was designed for teenagers and young adults (14–20) who already had some experience in filmmaking.

The course focused on exploring new cinematic forms and documentary approaches such as animadoc and video essays. Participants experimented with interviews, archives, and explored how deeply personal themes can be translated into cinematic language. They went through all stages of documentary filmmaking, from finding a character and developing a visual concept to editing and working with sound.

By the end of the course, participants created 10 experimental short films. Two of them went on to receive awards at international student film festivals.
