Short Documentary Film Project at the Polish Center

We’re excited to partner with students who are passionate about storytelling and curious about history. For this project, students will explore the exhibits, people, and objects in the Polish Center's collection and make individual, short documentary films on an approved topic of their choice. What Students Will Do: Explore and Research: Dive into the Polish Center's exhibits, archives, and historical materials to uncover compelling stories. Create a Documentary: Plan, shoot, and edit a short film that brings their chosen topic to life. What We Provide: Access to exhibits, archives, and historical resources Guidance on selecting impactful topics and connecting with key people Feedback to support the creative and production process Why It Matters: These films will help preserve and share important stories from the Polish community, offering fresh perspectives that engage and inspire. At the same time, students will gain invaluable skills in research, storytelling, and creative production. We're excited to see the incredible stories they bring to life.
