ABOUT THE TWO CINEMA WORKSHOPS


Why these 2 workshops? And for whom?
The Film'Ô festival highlights adults who sign but face barriers to entering in the world of cinema because of the lack of access to learning film techniques in Sign Language.
To meet this need, two workshops are proposed:
1. Basic film techniques: to learn the fundamentals of film techniques (camera operator, director, etc.).
2. The tools for telling a story in film: to acquire the knowledge needed and make a real short film. These workshops are for signing adults only and can receive up to 12 participants.
The aims of these workshops
These basic film technique workshops will enable adults to develop their skills in a friendly atmosphere.
The objectives are as follows :
And after the workshops?
