INTERACTION: TEEN DOC WORKSHOP 2026 – OPEN CALL!
Submission deadline: 20 June 2026
The Interaction: Teen Doc Workshop is a seven-day educational programme for teenagers aged 14 to 18 from the Western Balkans who want to explore the themes of dialogue, trust, differences, and youth connection in the region through creative documentary film, media literacy and teamwork. With the support of mentors and film professionals, participants will develop ideas and make short documentary films on the theme of dialogue, trust and youth connection. Before meeting in person, participants will have the opportunity to get to know each other and gain basic knowledge of media literacy through two online workshops held in July and August.
This year’s Workshop will be led by prominent film professionals from Serbia and the region: Luka Papić, director; Ikonija Jeftić, producer; Elena Meloncheli, cinematographer and director; Milena Đukić, producer, cultural manager and communications professional; and Dejan Petrović, director. The programme will also include peer educators who are former participants of the programme.
Additionally, participants of the Teen Doc Workshop will take on the role of the Youth Jury of the Interaction Festival.
This year’s edition will be held from 18 to 24 August in Požega (Serbia), simultaneously with several other Interaction programmes – the Short Documentary Film Festival, the Student Film Camp, the Documentary Film Workshop, and the Meet2Talk programme.
Submission deadline: 20 June 2026

Organizer
Independent film center Filmart is an organization from Požega, founded in 2005, which has been developing educational, production and international programs in the field of documentary film for two decades. Filmart is recognized as an incubator of young creatives and one of the centers of the creative industry in the Zlatibor District, which actively contributes to the cultural life and development of the community. We are especially engaged in the development of film education in the local community, through programs aimed at young people, especially high school students, many of whom continued their education at film academies and are actively engaged in film today. We also work with different target groups, giving citizens the tools to talk about social problems through film. We are best known for the Interaction programme – an international student film camp that we have been implementing continuously since 2006.
