During the 38th Film Festival, a free film workshop for young people will be organized in Herceg Novi, intended for young fans of film production, who want to gain insight into the film industry as an opportunity for career development.
The workshop will be held on August 26, from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Youth Center in the Old Town, organized by the Secretariat for Culture and Education of the Municipality of Herceg Novi and the Film Center of Montenegro, in cooperation with the British Council.
The lecturer is Richard Knight, an expert in career development in the film industry from Screen Yorkshire, the leading British film development organization, who helps young people gain practical knowledge of film production in workshops across the UK.
Applications for participation are open from today, August 15th to August 23rd. The workshop is open to all interested participants, regardless of age or previous experience.

Through theoretical and practical work, participants will learn about the life cycle of a film from idea to distribution, analyze different roles and positions in film production, work on analyzing a film scene in the classroom, visit locations in the Old Town and prepare a scene for filming, and discuss opportunities for further career development in the industry.
