Made by young people for young people, MOD - Skolernes Dokumentarfilmfestival brings together documentaries created by upper-secondary pupils and other young filmmakers. The films offer an honest and sometimes surprising look at the world we live in, with portraits of classmates and people beyond school on themes such as faith, dreams, loss, courage and engagement.
The films come from the MOD PÅ DOKS teaching programme, where pupils learn documentary methods in a single week and then make their own portraits. Beyond the screenings, the festival includes talks and discussions about young people's lives, rights and engagement, including sessions on human rights in teaching and on why young people's engagement takes many forms.
