Led by an anthropologist-filmmaker and emphasising the role of the body and embodied process in film practice, they may be of interest to some on this list working with, or wanting to work with, the audiovisual.

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 filmmakers to apply an embodied lens to the filmmaking process to create emotional and authentic short experimental documentaries on the theme of the body.

Participants will move through all stages of the documentary process through an embodied lens to make their own short films:

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 access to their own camera and a simple editing software. This workshop is for those who have faced marginalisation due to their gender in the film industry, which includes women, trans and non-binary people. Spaces are available on a sliding scale basis.

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.

Dear Imprint people,

I would like to participate in the bodies of water filmmaking course, but I do not have any prior experience in filming & editing. I do have an iphone 16pro and also a fujifilm x-t3 camera with filming mode but I have not really practiced using them for filming. I also don’t have any paid subscription for editing program but can download imovie. Do you think that I could still participate and benefit from the course? I am very eager!

Hello, 

After re-reading the course info I decided to enroll. If I understood correctly, there is a possibility to have some guidance and support for technical issues? Looking forward to learning more, Galina
