Introduction to Experimental Filmmaking with Niya Abdullahi

Dates: 6 Sessions - Saturdays, February 10th, 17th, 24th, February 2nd, 9th, and 16th, 2024

Time: 2 hour Sessions, 2:00PM-4:00PM

Venue: Online (Zoom) 

About the workshop series: This is an immersive workshop-series into the world of experimental filmmaking. These workshops would be an opportunity to learn the ins and out of making an out-of-this-world film on a micro budget. We'll explore different approaches and methodologies while also recognizing that there is no concrete way to make experimental films. What makes this form of film groundbreaking is the experiments in your own processes themselves. There is no one way of doing things and that's the beauty of it. Participants will be taught the ins-and-outs of script-writing, shooting and editing. They will be working towards bringing a short film idea to life and by the end of the course they'll have an opportunity to share their completed film with the class. The only materials needed is a smartphone as we will be using our phones to shoot and edit the films.
