workshop focus

The jury prepared short film reviews and reports from the festival, which were published on the website of Five Flavors and websites of selected media patrons and project partners. People's Jury, however, goes beyond the standard scheme covering screenings of competition films and jury meetings. The 10th edition of this programed focused of trans-cultural cinema, creative and audiovisual commentary. A large part of the juror's meetings was devoted to videoesay - an increasingly popular form of storytelling and discussion about the cinema in the Internet era. The jurors learned what factors to follow when creating visual analyzes, what to look for in the selection of materials and where to get inspiration. They also had the opportunity to create their own jury commentaries.
