Through hands-on workshops and expert-led sessions, you’ll dive into the essentials of visual storytelling. Study films from Czech New Wave icons like Miloš Forman and Věra Chytilová, then storyboard, shoot, and edit your own five-minute scene with a small team of fellow Global Navigators. You'll present your production at a film festival-style event, sharing your work with peers, teachers, and local professionals. Outside...
Program Highlights
Go behind the scenes on a visit of the Barrandov movie studios.
Take a walking tour of iconic filming locations in Prague. From “Mission Impossible”, “Casino Royale" or "The Bourne Identity," Prague has been the backdrop of countless blockbuster films.
Join your Czech peers for a night of karaoke fun. Sing your go-to hits, cheer each other on, and laugh with new friends as music (and maybe a little awkward dancing) brings everyone together.
Discover Prague’s rebellious side on a street art tour through alleyways filled with political graffiti, bold murals, and hidden installations.
Take pedal boats on the Vltava River, join an animation workshop, visit the Karel Zeman museum, and so much more!
