Verzió’s university cooperation program, UniVerzió offers students of film studies and related fields an opportunity to be a part of the festival not only as visitors, but as active contributors as well.
11-30 November, 2020
As 2020 is a year of unforeseen events and dramatic transformation, Verzió moves to the online space to maintain its discourse about the severe problems of our troubled world. Since no cinema exists without colourful film posters, Verzió establishes a tradition of exhibiting related documentary posters. This time it also intends to evoke the bustling atmosphere of previous festivals. With the help of Graphic Design MA students from the Budapest Metropolitan University (METU), alternative posters were created under the mentorship of Krzysztof Ducki.
Being the only offline event of this year’s Verzió, METU’s Design Culture students wish to make it even more attractive with exciting accompanying programmes, led by curator Gabriella Uhl. While the creators will be present at the exhibition, meeting them later on will be available via QR-codes, as well as getting an insight into the making-of.
Opening: 6 pm - 7.30 pm, 11 November

At the Department of Media and Communication Studies of the Faculty of Humanities at the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Media Studies BA stundents have been pursuing a course on human rights documentary film festivals led by András Müllner. The course provides an insight into the organization of a documentary film festival as well as the analysis of the film program.
Students of the course take part in the festival's Q&As as moderators,
and their film reviews written about select films from the progam will be published on the VERZIÓ Blog during the festival.
