The professional and educational program of the Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival returns again this year! Between November 12–16, DocPro welcomes everyone interested in the world of documentary film — from professionals to students and general audiences. The aim of Verzió DocPro is to create space for connection, exchange, and inspiration within the documentary community. Over five days, the program explores both current professional issues and broader topics that engage the public, through panels, masterclasses, and presentations.
Participants: Sári Haragonics (director, Don’t Worry, Sári!), Lea Podhradská (director, My Father’s Daughter), Arum Nam (director, K-Family Affairs)
Moderator: Asia Dér (director, Verzió curator)
This discussion focuses on the unique challenges of personal documentaries: how to maintain trust, respect boundaries, and protect close relationships when the director is part of the story.
Participants: Anett Petra Barna (film distribution & communications expert – Mozinet, Compact TV), Emese Doroszlai (NGO communications expert – TASZ), Samu Seres (influencer)
Moderator: Jolán Tóth (Verzió social media manager)
How can socially conscious messages find their way through an algorithm-driven digital space? Panelists discuss how influencers can act as bridges between cultural content and audiences while preserving authenticity and values.
