Oaxaca Documentary Film Workshop —
February
19-26, 2010
For seven days, from Friday evening, February 19, to Friday morning, February 26, you will immerse yourself in the art and craft of documentary film making in the indigenous Zapotec village of Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico. There are 7,000 people and 2,000 looms in this famous rug weaving center situated 15 miles outside the colonial capital of Oaxaca City. This learning laboratory opens your eyes to new perspectives. A core aspect of this workshop is to encourage you to take the skills and insights you gain through this cross-cultural experience back home to document your own community, culture, or advocacy project with fresh vision.
You will:
- Explore the creativity, challenges and ethics of telling a compelling story
- Learn the steps of documentary film production from start to finish
- Develop the technical skills for video and audio recording
- Edit the raw footage into a rich narrative using Final Cut Pro
