Cineworks Workshops: The Found Footage Film August 14, 2010

Frightened by the blank canvas of film? Want to make a film but have no money? There are lots of good reasons to make a found footage film, and lots of found footage waiting for you to edit into a meaningful cinematic experience. In an age where the cultural landscape is dominated by a seemingly arbitrary volume of images, what could be more relevant than an entire genre dedicated to selecting and organizing moving images? This workshop will introduce people conceptually and practically to the Found Footage Film. In the morning you will be introduced to this fascinating genre through screenings and discussion. In the afternoon, working alone or collaboratively, everyone will begin creating a scene or short film by editing found footage. Then at the end of our day, we’ll screen your works together and discuss the cuts you’ve made.
The workshop is intentionally small for one-on-one time with the instructor and the equipment. And if you don’t quite finish your piece, not to worry! You will have access to the equipment at the Annex space for FREE for ONE WEEK as part of the cost of the workshop. Through the week, you can finish your film at your own leisure or re-edit it after you’ve had some feedback.
