Workshop

Certified full-day course for the elementary and secondary school teachers, where you will be able to develop your skills in the field of documentary film analysis! The course will take place on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Kino Kavalírka

In the first part of the course, led by Petr Pláteník (ASFAV) and Anna Puklová (KRUTÓN), you will first take a brief look at the changes brought about by the revision of the Framework Educational Program (RVP) in the field of art and film education for elementary schools. Then, with director, producer, and educator Peter Kerekes, you will explore the world of documentaries and documentary work with reality. You will also focus on how documentaries can benefit students, from developing critical thinking to sensitively addressing current social issues.

In the second part, together with film critic and cultural journalist Pavel Sladký, you will delve into the world of documentary analysis, including technical terminology, film language, film aesthetics, and artistic contexts. You will learn specific methods for creative and interactive analysis of documentaries in the classroom, which will encourage discussion, critical analysis, and deeper interpretation of documentary works. And you will try your hand at analyzing one of the films competing for the Pavel Koutecký Award. Each participant will prepare their own analysis of a competition film, on the basis of which they will receive a certificate of completion for the course.
