The selected participants will come together to react to, unpack and cooperatively deconstruct preconceptions and find useful ways to approach the relevant questions and meaningful insights that the work of these filmmakers have to offer.

The Filmmaking Seminar is free, subjected to a selection process, and open to all national and international participants.

It will take place on October 24th, 25th and 31st and November 1st.
