8th VERZIÓ DOCLAB DOCUMENTARY WORKSHOP ON STORY DEVELOPMENT AND EDITING
The 8th Verzió DocLab is a 5-day intensive editing workshop for directors and editors, organised during the 20th Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival in Budapest between 21-25 November, 2023. The focus of the Verzió DocLab workshop is story development and editing. With the guidance of international mentors you will work on your documentary project’s story, and edit a selected scene that you will present at the end of the workshop in front of an audience of festival programmers, sales agents and producers.
Verzió invites you to share stories from your community, your experience, your perspective. The workshop will aim to guide you to reach the artistic and cinematic potential of your project. With DocLab you can have your voice heard and reach an impact within the industry as a visual storyteller. Find the core of your story you want to tell!
An international team of directors, scriptwriters, editors, and programming experts will help six selected project teams in search of clearer dramaturgical structure for their documentary films. The workshop seeks to define, develop and strengthen the key narrative elements of the film projects with the guidance of such outstanding mentors as Réka Lemhényi (HU), Anna Kis (HU) Michael Seeber (A) and Tue Steen Müller (DK).
