[Imprint Documentary Collective]

Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. We are now open for registrations for our March series of intensive filmmaking sessions, focused on documentary filmmaking around the body and water, and an introduction to filmmaking for researchers.

------------------------

Embodied Documentary Filmmaking: Bodies of Water

19, 26 March, 2, 9 April 6 - 8:30 PM GMT (UK time)

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

Online, Sliding scale (scholarships available)

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1983829782282?aff=oddtdtcreator

Embodied Documentary Filmmaking is a creative practice-as-research process developed as part of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's ongoing, collaborative work exploring the convergence of the body, somatic practices and experimental/documentary filmmaking. In this experimental, intensive workshop, participants will join a small, international cohort of up to 10 filmmakers, artists, and academics to explore the body and water through the medium of documentary, coming away with their own short film.

Creative Documentary for Researchers

15, 22, 29 March, 5 April, 10 AM - 12:30 PM GMT (UK time)

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

Online. Sliding scale (scholarships available)

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1983830268737?aff=oddtdtcreator

This intensive, practical workshop is aimed toward researchers, academics, artists, filmmakers and students working in all fields, from STEM to the arts and humanities, who are interested in learning more about applying documentary filmmaking to their existing work. Taking a creative approach to documentary as a medium for exploration, the workshop will focus on finding the artistic, human, and emotional elements already present in our research to express them through the audio-visual.

-------

These workshops are suitable for participants of all levels of experience who have access to a computer, their own camera and a simple editing software. Experienced artists, researchers, students, filmmakers, as well as complete beginners and anyone with an interest in 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 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.
