Workshop: Creative Documentary Filmmaking for Researchers

Dear all,

Please find information about our new autumn series of filmmaking workshops exploring a creative approach to documentary filmmaking for those who may want to make a short film on their research, which may be of interest to some in this group.

Creative Documentary for Researchers - September

Sunday evenings, 7 - 9:30 PM BST (UK time)

For people or marginalised genders (women, trans, and non-binary people)

Online

Creative Documentary Filmmaking for Researchers is a practical, creative workshop on documentary filmmaking that aims to find the artistic, human, and emotional elements already present in our research. In this workshop, participants will join a small, international cohort of up to 10 filmmakers, artists, and academics to engage in a series of collaborative filmmaking exercises over the course of a month. Participants will develop their own 1 - 10 minute short documentary or experimental film over the month, as well as become part of the wider IMPRINT Documentary Collective community.

- Introduction to Creative Documentary (7 September 2025) at 7-9:30 PM UK Time
- Approaches to Directing and Cinematography (14 September 2025) at 7-9:30 PM UK Time
- Editing and Story Structure (28 September 2025) at 7-9:30 PM UK Time

These workshops are suitable for participants of all levels of experience who have access to their own camera and a simple editing software. Artists, researchers, students, filmmakers, and people who are learning about film for the first time are all welcome to join. These workshops are for those who have faced marginalisation in the film industry and academia due to their gender, which includes women, trans and non-binary people.

ABOUT IMPRINT

IMPRINT Documentary Collective is a queer and feminist film collective exploring embodiment and the body in creative documentary filmmaking. Founded in 2021, IMPRINT delivers workshops, productions, and screenings to collectively experiment with embodied documentary filmmaking as a process for making uniquely felt yet political 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 gender-marginalised storytellers by using the documentary medium as an act of radical and empathic resistance through the lens of the body politic.
