VIDEO- AND FILM-WORKSHOP WITH STEFAN

How can I capture my surroundings on video? This workshop shows how to document events, activities, or situations while maintaining a personal touch. What kind of footage is needed to convey your personal perspective to a future audience? What types of shots are there, and how do they fit into the final product?

At the start of the workshop, we will work as a group to plan what we want to document during the Youth Culture Days weekend and how we’ll go about it. From planning and filming to editing, we will create a short but impressive film together.

We can certainly tailor the process to the group members’ interests and prior experience! Whether it’s visual storytelling, staging, or interview techniques. Bring your own ideas to the table!

STEFAN GÖBEL

Stefan Göbel first picked up his parents’ movie camera at the age of 12, immersing himself in the craft as a self-taught filmmaker. He later studied Film and Video at the St. Joost Academy of Art and Design in Breda. Since graduating in 2014, he has worked as a filmmaker and video journalist on his own projects (e.g., “Vehement Cottbus” 1 and 2) and for broadcasters such as RBB (e.g., “Sorbisch 2.0,” “Unterwegs in Transkarpatien,” “ferialny kurs,” and numerous segments for “Luzyca”) and Lausitz.tv (e.g., “Lausitz für Alle,” “Drei,” and various journalistic pieces).

Performing under the name “STOI,” Stefan Göbel is also the first Lower Sorbian rapper; he has been deeply engaged with Sorbian themes since early childhood.
