The educational side program for young audiences, “junges dokfest – Watch and understand documentary film”, has been presented in cooperation with the Regulatory Authority for Commercial Broadcasting in Hesse (LPR Hessen) since 2009.
The section “junges dokfest” is aimed at school students from the 8th till the 13th grade as well as teachers and will take place before as well as during the festival.
Workshops and screenings will provide young persons an insight into the broad spectrum of documentary filmmaking, they can further practice their competence in understanding film and will write own reviews of selected films of the festival program under the guidance of media educators. The participants will also have the opportunity to engage in interesting discussions with attending filmmakers. Additionally three students will be involved in the Jury for the production grant “A38”.
Participating teachers will be offered special training in advance.
The educational side program will be instructed by the media educator and film scientist Dr. Stefan Bornemann, Alexander du Prel and Götz Penner.
The works that will be shown in the “junges dokfest” program will be selected from all submissions for the film and video section. Submission for this section specifically, are not possible.
