Docroads

DOCROADS is a unique project-based creative workshop, aimed at European and Asian aspiring film professionals. Within one to two weeks, the participants experience the challenges of international co-production in both a theoretical and practical phase. The participants are guided by tutors in working groups through the course offerings and develop their own projects. At the end of the program, each group will have completed a 15-minute short film on a given topic. Team building and networking are also central elements in the courses. The DOCROADS program is conducted in collaboration with the University of the Aegean, an accredited European university. ECTS points are awarded for participation in a DOCROADS workshop, which can be credited towards a bachelor's or master's degree. DOCROADS has already been carried out several times in Asia and Europe.
