(in Polish) Seminarium reżyserskie 15 WR/R/PR/SemRez15
The directing seminar is devoted to the practical production of short film exercises based on previously prepared shot lists/storyboards. The course is workshop-based and focuses on the directing process: from conceptual work and production preparation, through filming, to the analysis and discussion of the completed material.
