The Workshop aims to combine AV art with the world of science to develop modern language solutions based on what the industry has to offer. We invite enthusiasts who, under the guidance of Masters, want to shoot joint audiovisual projects in interdisciplinary groups enriching their artistic and technical skills and learning new technologies.

Hackathon for Wawel Castle

Thanks to the financial support of the Malopolska Region, the Hackathon for Wawel will take place during our Workshop. The aim is to create proposals for interactive visual projects for the Wawel Royal Castle in Krakow.

For many years, we have been stimulating cooperation between the world of film and programmers. We want to invite IT specialists, programmers, computer graphic designers, VR and AR specialists, producers, sound engineers, actors and directors for the three-day Hackathon competition. New audiences will increasingly anticipate from creators and institutions new forms of interactive and visual narrative that bring together the world of programmers and artists.

You are not alone!

AV projects are created through collective work, and the very fast developing technology requires constant further training. Therefore, a new feature of FSO Workshop 2021 will be the opportunity to continue training even after the.

We have created a place for consultation and building interdisciplinary creative teams, which often continue their cooperation after the Workshop. You are not alone! At the FSO Workshop, you will find partners who will help you make your dreams come true.
