Those who would like to participate need to fill in the online submission form here: http://www.ziff.or.tz/ziff-2018-workshops/
Please note, workshop space is limited and submitting a form does NOT guarantee a place within a workshop. Successful applicants will be notified via email.
While there is no cost to attend the workshops, any travel and accommodation expenses are for the participant's own account.
Applications for the She Directs and Screenwriting workshops will close on June 15th and Web Series on June 22nd.
She Directs Workshop July 8-12th
This workshop facilitated by Aylin Basaran, Cece Mlay and Debra Zimmerman will focus on all phases of directing a fictional or documentary film, from creating an idea to developing a creative concept and the practical workflows that enable them. It is tailored for women, considering their particular challenges, unique experiences, and potentials in the (East African and International) film industry. Considering that the reality of film making in East Africa is usually in the low-budget sector, the workshop will discuss ideal industry models for roles and responsibilities in filmmaking and adjust them to the particular local needs.
The workshop both gives input on directing skills and provides space for the participants to share their own experiences and give them the opportunity to network with each other, linking the creative process with the practical workflows required to make visions come to life. Through both the experiences of the instructors and participants, the workshop will provide and further develop applicable and inspiring strategies for female film makers operating in and from East Africa.
