Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. I wanted to pass on information for the last of our practical documentary filmmaking workshops this year, which may be of interest to those working with experimental ethnographic methods as well as associated areas.

EMBODIED DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING WORKSHOP
Bodies of Water (Tuesdays) / Body of the Earth (Thursdays)
for women, trans, and non binary participants
Online
Embodied Documentary Filmmaking is a creative process developed as part of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's collaborative practice based research exploring the convergence of the body, somatic practices and experimental/documentary filmmaking. In these immersive and practical workshops, participants will join an international cohort of 10-12 filmmakers to apply an embodied lens to the filmmaking process to create emotional and authentic 1 - 10 minute short documentaries or experimental films on themes of either water or earth.
Bodies of Water
Tuesdays 7-9 PM GMT
19, 26 November, 3, 10 December 2024
Body of the Earth
Thursdays 7-9 PM GMT
21, 28 November, 5, 12 December 2024
During the workshop, each participant will create their own short film by moving through the main stages of documentary filmmaking through an embodied lens:
- Pre-Production: How can our bodies somatically, sensorially, and emotionally inform stories we want to tell through film?
- Directing: What informed creative and political choices do we make as directors on how we tell embodied stories?
- Shooting: How do we position or visualise the body, or create a representation of the experience of the body, with a camera?
- Editing: How do we construct bodily-informed, intuitive, and alternative narrative structures for our films?
- Distribution: Where do we want our films to be seen, and what social and personal impact do we want our films to have?
This workshop is suitable for participants of all levels of experience who have basic knowledge of using their own camera and a simple editing software. Artists, movement practitioners, researchers, students and filmmakers are all welcome to join. This workshop is for those who have faced marginalisation due to their gender, which includes women, trans and non binary people.
ABOUT IMPRINT
IMPRINT Documentary Collective is a feminist film collective exploring embodiment and the body in documentary film. Founded in 2021, IMPRINT delivers workshops, productions, and screenings to collectively experiment with embodied documentary filmmaking as a process for making films. Our collaborations both within the film industry and local communities have allowed us to reach a wide audience on the potential of embodied documentary, and our goal is to broaden the representation of marginalised storytellers by using the documentary medium as an act of radical and empathic resistance through the lens of the body politic.
