Workshop: Film in the Classroom – News Report with Street Interviews

In this workshop, film teacher Jasper Vreken (NL) will share his experience as a film teacher, as the director of Stichting Documaken (making documentaries), and as the project leader of the MSA Film Academy – an after-school fiction film programme. Together with the participants he´ll also get hands-on and create a festival news report with street interviews. The participants will learn how to use a single question and strong, matching visuals to produce a creative news piece – for example, from a film festival! Or from a school project, of course. The worksheet we use will be available digitally after the workshop.

The workshop will be held in English and translated into Czech.

For the past twenty years, Jasper Vreken has been teaching film with great enthusiasm to secondary school students. At the Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam, he guides young people in discovering the power of film – from short reports and trailers to horror films, commercials, and fiction stories. He is also the director of Stichting Documaken, an organization that supports students across the Netherlands in creating documentaries as part of their final research projects. Through this process, they learn how to turn their ideas and research into meaningful films that tell real stories. Finally, Japer develops and leads an after-school film program in which students work together to create short fiction films. In these projects, creativity takes center stage as they bring their own stories to life on screen.
