In cooperation with My Therapy Studio in London and the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb
leader of the workshop: Dado Valentić

This year’s D-cinema workshop, just like the previous ones, will try to provide young Croatian filmmakers with the latest filmmaking skills, knowledge and techniques. World film industry is constantly developing. Last year was marked by a rapid shift to stereoscopic films. This tendency can be attributed to the great success of stereoscopic films at the box ofce. Every larger studio announced a series of new 3-D films and it became obvious that stereoscopic films are not just another technology craze but rather a trend that will remain and survive. From the perspective of filmmakers, stereoscopic films ofer young creative minds fantastic opportunities to explore this feld of filmmaking and a challenge to think up and develop new narrative instruments that this medium provides.
