Sisällön jaksotus

During the course, every student makes a documentary production with a mobile phone. The theme of these documentaries is empathy. The short documentaries (3-7 min) can be based on interviews of the experts, intimate and very personal pieces of art, reportages of people or anything you can create out of this theme. The style and mode is free but the tool is a mobile phone and the documentary has to be based on reality and facts. It can be experimental but not fiction.
