Dokumentary film workshops: storytelling with reality

Throughout Bavaria and online for young people who want to make a documentary film

How do I find a good protagonist for the subject of my documentary film? What stylistic devices and editing techniques make the story exciting?

DOK.education offers four workshops for interested non-professionals aged 12–26 who would like to make their own documentary film. No prior knowledge is required. The full-day workshops answer all questions relating to conducting interviews, camera technology, and storytelling. The two-hour workshop focuses on the topic of conducting interviews.

The workshops are a complementary offering to our documentary film competition for young people, which is being held throughout Bavaria in cooperation with the BLLV and MLLV. However, all workshops can also be attended independently of a submission. Here you can find the winning films from the 2025 documentary film competition for young people.

Unfortunately, the workshops are only offered in German language. Please switch to the German webside for more information.
