Media Production

Mediaproduction in MAC has brought an establishment of a social attitude to new media art forms, through the development of alternative means and possibilities of artistic expression in new media technologies. It has been the social use of a new technology that finally determines its future. MAC provides artists who work in field of new media and interdisciplinary projects open access to equipment, technology and professional assistance.
We sought artists and all interested in new media with a unique vision and desire to express that vision in the field of video art and short film.  At the same time, we strive to develop the technical skills that support this creative passion. Believing that the best way to learn film/video production is to make films and videos, we stress collaborative film and video production trainings through a project-based, hands-on, centred process that is combined with the development of the creative, conceptual, and technical skills needed to become a working film or video maker.
MAC is equipped for the whole process of production of video materials. This means that the final recorded materials have been and is completely produced by MAC, starting from the elaboration of the topic that is presented, making storybook for the recording, the recording itself, and the editing of the recorded material.
In the frames of the project small door, until now MAC has produced 4 documentary films and 5 video arts, among which:
