In addition to the festival program, this year's DOKUDOC International Documentary Film Festival significantly enriches the educational field as well. For the purpose of improvement in the genre of documentary film, we organize as many as three workshops for the participants, namely:
- Documentary workshop Dokudoc Luksuz with Boris Petkovič, 8 to 15 September 2022
- Workshop on writing about a documentary film with Melita Zajc, Ph.D., 9 to 16 September 2022
- Masterclass with Jan Gogola, September 16, 2022, at 15.00
The Luksuz documentary workshop is intended to provide practical insight into the creation of a documentary film from the initial idea to the final screening. Prior knowledge of handling a film camera is not necessary but is helpful. The participants will get acquainted with all the stages of making a documentary film and will produce short documentaries of their own, which will be premiered on the opening day of DOKUDOC 2022 festival!
The workshop is organized in cooperation with DZMP Krško - Luksuz Production and Viktring Court - Narodni dom.

The highlight of this year's educational selection is a Masterclass with Jan Gogola entitled: Maribor and documentary film as poetry. Together with the mentor, the participants will think about how to transfer poetry into the genre of poetic documentary film. which uses more experimental approaches and interweaves images and music, creating an atmosphere for achieving a special emotional experience. How do we place a poetic word on a film? Can a documentary be read like poetry? What are the narrative capabilities of combining the two approaches on film?
The Masterclass is organized in cooperation with the Directors Guild of Slovenia.
