WITH MY DOCUMENTARY I TRAVEL

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.

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» almost 100 documentaries have been produced in the last years. Each one is unique. Each one is different.

In 2022 we started cinematic journeys with selections of these documentaries in an action called ‘’Traveling with my Documentary’’. Selecting 10 documentaries every year, we have made dozens of stops to festivals and cultural events in Greece and Abroad, starting emblematically from Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.
