Calendar – Past Event

ARISTOTELES WORKSHOP ASSOCIATION invites you to its documentary film workshop at its 5th edition, opened to creative documentary filmmakers, DPs, editors and producers from Central and Eastern Europe. The programme is co-financed by the French-German TV Channel ARTE.

We are looking for young people with talent, passion, commitment, a voice of their own, and, above all, capacity for teamwork. Our courses are designed for young filmmakers with previous film and/or video experience.

During the five workshop weeks, the students will work in teams, being guided through each and every step of the documentary production. While the emphasis will be mainly on content, the workshop will also cover the latest High Definition TV technologies and techniques.

Also, professional training that encourages the independent spirit, innovation, and creative risk-taking is provided by preeminent leaders in the field, who will help the participants translate their own ideas into fresh, ground breaking documentaries.

ARISTOTELES WORKSHOP will take place in Romania, between August 1st and September 5th .

The workshop is structured as follows:

Stage 1
Training Narrative style & strategies. Director's perspective of development.
Camera, light, sound. Visual approach, planning & production schedule.

Stage 2
Production Treatment, research & scouting, shooting.

Stage 3
