Documentary film is dedicated to the authentic portrayal of people, events, and social issues, combining journalistic research with cinematic design. Students learn to tell real stories sensitively and accurately, conduct interviews, present complex issues in an understandable way, and take both ethical and aesthetic aspects into account. The focus is on research, camera work, directing, editing, and dramaturgy.
