ARISTOTELES WORKSHOP ASSOCIATION (AWA) is a HDTV training and development center dedicated to foster a new generation of creative documentary filmmakers in Central and Eastern Europe. Established in 2005, with support from the French/German cultural TV channel arte, AW is a unique training program, offering both a hands on approach and a continuous tutoring system. 16 participants will be selected on the basis of a dossier (credentials, demo reels, and recommendations). During this thorough television workshop, the participants, divided in 4 groups, will be guided through each and every step of the documentary production. Established and respected professionals will help them translate their own ideas into fresh, ground breaking documentaries. In the end each group will have to deliver a ½ hour documentary ready for broadcast and entirely marketable.
