Documentary film and young audiences

Šimon Bauer 

The Center for Documentary Film understands documentary film as a stimulus for thinking, creating and discovering, questioning and understanding, searching and connecting. As a platform that allows, on many levels, to explore and comment on the world and to connect seemingly disconnected professions, topics and approaches. It’s an open space for all curious, creative and wandering people who wish to orient themselves in the world of media reality that surrounds us. It also provides a base for those who want to gain practical skills in video production and documentary film, and we also offer a facility for all those who aspire to creatively develop their own audiovisual projects.
