DOC EXPRÉS

1Taller-Doc-Exprés-MiradasDoc-2011

 

Ever since 2006, DocExprés has been one of the distinguishing features of MiradasDoc. Especially designed for students of image and sound modules, DocExprés provides the three institutions offering these qualifications in the Canaries with real practice for their students. The workshop, coordinated by professionals in the sector, sets up a team for each of the institutions, with the challenge of seeing to the script, production, shooting and post-production of a documentary piece of no more than minutes, based on a theme given at the start of the workshop. Thus, with under a week to work, the teams have to submit a copy ready to be displayed at the festival’s official halls. Throughout the festival week, students come up against all the difficulties and complexities of working in production companies, with which they put their knowledge acquired into practice and have the chance of learning from their interaction with the professionals coordinating the work.
