The workshop is open to all who demonstrate an interest in the directions of the workshop.
The topics covered during the workshop will vary from filmmaking techniques, audiovisual style and approaches to broader thinking about the landscape, human and non-human characters, and the broader implications of a non-fiction practice.
Participants will be expected to arrive with a video camera of their own, a laptop with editing software, a tripod, and any sound equipment they might require.
