WORKSHOPS & training

Our members and extended networks of womxn in the film industry, all at different stages in their careers, strive to share their knowledge and bring more female identifying talent into the fold. We regularly mentor and bring eager creatives on set, host workshops on the topics of practical videography, storytelling and journalling for wellbeing.

PAST EVENTS

WEST BANK & LESVOS

Twice this year some of our members have had the opportunity to work with local and migrant communities to teach short workshops on the art of storytelling in film. Though we’re firm believers in hands on training and DIY production, it’s been our sense that breaking down how to tell an engaging story is a universal skill that will be useful to people who might not otherwise easily have their voices heard.

In April Shireen Hinckley and Anna Dobos partnered with Go Palestine and spent 3 weeks in Hebron, in the West Bank, learning about local journalist practice and crafting the outlines of their videography curriculum.

In July, Shireen and Anna were joined by Chiara Towne on Lesvos, Greece to shoot promotional material for Mytilini based organisation Mosaik and to team up with ReFocus Media Labs. They continued with and expanded on their experiences in Hebron and helped lead a short series of workshops likewise focusing on storytelling.
