Interaction: Teen Doc 2026 – OPEN CALL!
Interaction: Teen Doc Workshop
is a seven-day educational programme intended for teenagers aged 14 to 18 from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Albania,
Kosovo* and Serbia, who want to learn more about creative documentary film and media literacy, develop their own creativity, and collaborate with peers from the region.
During the Workshop, participants will gain knowledge and skills in creative documentary film making in an engaging and hands-on way. Through teamwork and with the support of mentors and consultants, renowned experts from Serbia and region, they will produce three short documentaries,
going through the entire process – from the initial idea to the final version of the film.
The working language of the Workshop is English.
This year’s edition of the Workshop will take place from 18 to 24 August 2026.
Submission deadline: 20 June 2026.
Both submission and participation in the Workshop are free of charge.
The Teen Doc Workshop is organized simultaneously with several other Interaction programmes – the Short Documentary Film Festival, the Student Film Camp, the Documentary Film Workshop, and the Meet2Talk programme.
Interaction: Teen Doc Workshop 2026 is organised by IFC Filmart, and with the support of the European Fund for the Balkans (EFB), under the umbrella of the Network of European Foundations.
TEEN DOC 2026: PROGRAMME
The Teen Doc Workshop is carried out in two phases:
Phase One (July – August, online)
Online workshops
– During July and August, two online workshops will be held, giving participants the chance to get to know each other and gain basic knowledge in media literacy.
The media literacy workshop will be led by Ikonija Jeftić, a producer and teaching assistant at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade.
Phase Two (18 – 24 August, in person – Požega)
Documentary film production
– Over the course of this seven-day workshop in Požega, participants will acquire knowledge and skills in creative documentary filmmaking in an engaging, hands-on way. Through teamwork and with the support of mentors and consultants, they will create three short documentaries (each up to 7 minutes long), going through the entire process – from the initial idea to the final version of the film.
The documentaries will be produced under the mentorship of award-winning director Luka Papić from Belgrade, with additional guidance from mentors such as Elena Melloncelli – a cinematographer and filmmaker from North Macedonia / Italy, Milena Đurić – a producer and cultural and communications manager from Montenegro, and Dejan Petrović, director and professor at the Academy of Arts in Belgrade. They will also be supported by peer educators, former Teen Doc participants.
The Youth Jury Award – Interaction Festival
Participants of the Teen Doc Workshop will serve as members of the Youth Jury at the Interaction Festival, which takes place simultaneously with the Workshop. Teen Doc participants will have the opportunity to watch outstanding short documentaries from around the world at the Interaction Festival and, from the 15 films in the competition programme, select the one to receive the Youth Jury Award for Best Film.
