The workshop explores how to produce films sensitively and ethically so contributors feel heard and respected. Learn from our 20+ years of making co-produced films. Our values and approach mirror the principles of co-production so you will take away techniques and strategies that puts you in good stead to make films with people - rather than just about them.
Co-produced filmmaking is working with and alongside everyone involved throughout the whole filmmaking process so contributors have valuable input and feel ownership. There are many benefits to working in this way including strengthening skills and relationships, empowering individuals and communities and creating more heartfelt, authentic and impactful films.
