Traveling with my Documentary Film 2024
Documentary is a strategic choice for Chania Film Festival’s Educational Programs. Oral testimony, local history and documentary filmmaking are a common field of actions in order for the Educational Community to get acquainted with the Art of documentary, as well as for History to be taught in a modern way.
Chania Film Festival’s educational programs are lately strategically focused on documentary filmmaking along with the educational community of Crete. Documentaries that emphasize on human beings. Documentaries about local history. Documentaries where oral testimony is the predominant element.
Educators, students and Chania Film Festival’s education and production team cross paths in a common and creative journey of getting acquainted with the art of documentary, as well as elements of local and oral history. A journey full of human stories. True stories. Through the programs ‘’cineLessons’’ and ‘’True Stories / CreDoc’’ more than 100 documentaries have been produced in the last years. Each one of them is unique. Each one of them is different.
In 2018 we started cinematic journeys with selections from these documentaries in an action entitled "With my Documentary I Travel". Selecting documentaries every year, we have made a few dozen stops at festivals and cultural events in Greece and Internationally.
