Film ART
how to tell visual stories
Always thought you’re a visual thinker? Have you ever had a brilliant idea for a video to create and share, or maybe you’re curious to learn and improve your video creation and editing skills? Maybe you’re interested in improving teamwork and having fun while working on something that excites and excites you?
Digital storytelling can be used in many different ways, and films can be made about anything. Creating impactful stories provides a sense of agency and ownership that can inspire a holistic community process, regardless of the subject matter, where participants are learning material for their story in a natural, contextualized manner. The process of story writing can enhance creativity, develop more advanced communications skills, by allowing people to learn to better organise their ideas, ask the right questions, express their opinions and individuality more openly, and construct narratives that will connect with their viewers in their community.

A recent study by Microsoft concluded that the human attention span has dropped to eight seconds – shrinking nearly 25% in just a few years. By equipping teachers, youth workers, educators and community leaders how to create engaging content, we might just be on track to figuring out an innovative solution to add to changing the educational system. Now, more than ever, video-making technology has become affordable, more user-friendly, and more powerful. Many people have cell phones, cameras, and other handheld devices that have video-recording capabilities, thus making these types of projects more feasible for beginners to implement.
In this workshop, we learn to give and receive feedback, form effective teams, act and react quickly, work fast and work while taking care of ourselves and have fun while learning. We present our ideas and create something we believe in
The workshop is suitable for enthusiasts of all ages and regardless of experience, by participating you will: learn how to create an impactful video content, take the first steps to realize your ideas, develop your creative potential, become more observant and analytical, more confident in impacting your audience through video. You will learn to work as a team and have fun while doing it.
Filmmaking is an absorbing, challenging and powerful creative process that can expand young people’s understanding of the world. In the long run, the workshop aims for more video content to be created and more educational facilities and communities to begin using video as a communication tool. We strive to improve local and national media literacy in smaller communities, implement digital tools in education, as well as find new means of communication through fostering creativity within the younger generation.
For me, filmmaking is not about making statements but about exposing human behavior so people are eager enough to start thinking on their own and make their own assumptions.

This is my inspiration for this theme and it is something I recently discovered as a mindset. I found new logic for my entire life through caring for another and how much hope that brings to an individual when they have to do things to make another creature’s life better and not their own. Which of course makes everyone in the equation happy.
