Video essay On the edge of history

From the 23rd of February and the 20th of March, under the mentorship of DAMS Academy students, a workshop and video essay creation activity took place in cooperation with the students of Gabriele D'Annunzio High School in Gorizia. With the help of archival footage from Aljoša Žerjal's fund, film newsreels and Cinegiornales, the young lecturers put the issue of the border and related propaganda in film documentary production in the center of attention. In addition to the final product, such an approach encourages students to think and critically reflect.
