Workshops

Young Critic's Workshop

The festival has been running a Young Critics' Workshop for several years now, attracting participants from all over Europe (and in some cases further afield). Over the course of three days at the festival, young, emerging and aspiring film-critics can fully immerse themselves in the unique, friendly EFF atmosphere while taking part in regular mentoring sessions with the workshop supervisors: Carmen Gray (a Berlin-based New Zealander critic/programmer) and Victor Paz (a Spanish journalist/distributor). The participants will see their work published on the festival's blog and overall the experience is intended to further their appreciation of cinema, hone their critical and journalistic skills, and improve their future chances of employment within the industry.
