This course is intended for all students who are interested in documentary film-making.
Find beautiful everyday stories and learn how to tell them visually!
This hands-on Summer School course will introduce participants to documentary film-making and documentary photography.
Participants will produce a short documentary on a theme of their choice. They will be encouraged to find a topic they would like to visually explore in Weimar, and they will learn about camera, sound and interview techniques. They will then start doing the fieldwork, find a story that can resonate with an audience and develop it over the course of two weeks. The resulting projects will be video documentaries or multimedia pieces or slide shows of photos accompanied by relevant audio (music or interviews).
The course price includes lunch on course days, a welcome package, excursions and a social programme as well as the farewell and welcome events.
The course fee includes lunch in the canteen on course days. In addition, with your Bauhaus Summer School ID card, you can purchase breakfast at a reduced rate. Cafeterias serve a wide variety of meals (including vegetarian dishes, snacks, and beverages). If you prefer to cook your own meals, you can buy fresh ingredients at a number of shops in town. There are also many quaint cafés and inexpensive restaurants in Weimar. For a taste of Thuringia, we recommend buying a Thuringian bratwurst hot off the grill at the Rathausmarkt.
The Bauhaus Summer School has organised an exciting and extensive accompanying programme for its participants. The programme offers excursions (Dessau, Erfurt, Eisenach, Leipzig), guided tours of Weimar and surroundings, visits to Weimar's classical sites and museums, game nights, film screenings, sports, parties, and more. Weimar itself also offers a large selection of cultural events, concerts, and theatre performances. You can plan your leisure activities as you like and experience an exciting summer with your fellow students.
