Film Days at VBU

Film Days at VBU is an international film workshop organised by Arts and Social Science high-school programme at VBU.

This year in February we are welcoming the seventh edition of the workshop that was inaugurated in March 2019. In the last six years more than 180 students from Croatia, Ireland, Serbia, Greece, Germany, Sweden and UK participated in the workshop and made 32 films together.

Each year was dedicated to the different topic: 2019 to town of Ludvika which celebrated 100th birthday, 2020 to UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, 2021 (which was organized partly digital) to Corona generation, 2022 to "Water that connects us all", 2023 to “Forging a green future through industry” and 2024 to "Film in the bottle". 2021’s edition films, which were done following “Give and Take Concept” (group A is responsible for pre-production and production of the film and then in post-production phase they leave the film to group B while they also get material to edit from group C) you can watch here Länk till annan webbplats.:

It is important to know that films were distributed to different festivals around the world after the workshop, like for example: FUSE – film under severe experiment, Four River Film Festival, Dalarna Film Festival, Nordic Youth Film Festival, Plasencio Encorto, Camera Zizanio, A-teens international Film Festival…
