  Course description:

The aim of the classes is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to effectively cope with the challenges of the modern world. By combining classes into a theoretical, sociological and practical part based on a specific film work, students develop critical thinking, interpersonal and problem-solving skills. We also support the development of specialist competences related to a given area of study.

The classes are a combination of theoretical sociological reflection and practical film analysis, combining the knowledge of sociology with the perspective of film production and distribution. Half of the classes, conducted by a doctor of social sciences, focus on theoretical aspects of the challenges of the modern world. Participants delve deeply into social structures, global phenomena and ethical dilemmas using sociological tools.

The second half of the classes is conducted by a sales agent and a film producer, introducing participants to the world of film as a medium of social analysis. Films and film materials are analyzed that explore topics discussed in sociology classes. Through this prismatic analysis, participants develop the ability to read film content in a social context.
