The students have had a free choice of one workshop with any of the four possibilities:

The Crossover festival also features video documentaries made by students from DMJX. A selection of 21 stories made at DMJX has been chosen to represent the school at the festival. Together with this screening the festival also shows an exhibition of the posters, the students have made for their stories.
