Masterclass

Masterclass offers a deep dive into working methods, aesthetics and professional experience of top-level authors and experts. It moves beyond general advice into concrete examples and decisions. Participants explore how an idea becomes a film – from first impulse to final cut. The focus is on “how”: building trust, filming sensitive situations, editing meaning and navigating uncertainty. This programme is ideal for those who want to learn from practice rather than theory. Masterclasses often reveal mistakes and blind spots rarely discussed publicly. They highlight documentary as a precise craft. Fundamental questions are revisited: what we film, why we film and what consequences follow. Masterclass sessions are also highly motivating – leaving audiences eager to create, or at least to watch more attentively. If you want the most concentrated knowledge the festival offers, do not miss this.
