“Baia Mare chose us, and now we keep our fingers crossed for the final decision in the European Capital of Culture 2021 contest. Last week I was heading to this place with endless questions, I had no idea what it all would be like. I now see the students and Thierry, for the 7th time with us, this time coming all the way from Vancouver. I feel they make a good group, the participants are excellent, and everything will turn up just great”,producer

Starting today until the 24th of September,
the 12 participants, split into four teams composed iof director, cinematographer and editor, will go through all the phases of making a documentary, from concept, shooting, editing and the final presentation before a jury of professionals.
The first week deals with presentations and theory. Before the second week, the membership of the four teams will have been decided and the participants will have a first draft of the subjects they want to develop. “
