MENTORSHIP
Audio documentary is a unique genre. It is a combination of sound art and journalism that opens up imagination and brings the listener closer to individual stories.
In the workshop of audio storytelling we will invite you to play with the documentary audio medium and accompany you on your creative journey. We will explain how to use sound to tell your own, your friend's or someone else's story in a captivating way.
During the five sessions, participants of the programme will get to know the variety of documentary audio narratives, learn how to make quality recordings, learn interview and other material gathering techniques, and construct an engaging documentary narrative from different types of audio scenes. During the mentorship, each participant will create a short (5-7 min.) audio piece to be presented at the closing event of the festival.
