[Commlist] Call for Participants: Online Filmmaking Workshops in Embodied Documentary

We are hosting a few more editions of our Bodies of Water and The 
Stories Our Bodies Hold filmmaking workshops in February, due to 
requests. Led by an anthropologist-filmmaker and emphasising the role of 
the body and embodied process in film practice, they may be of interest 
to some on this list working with, or wanting to work with, the 
audio-visual.

Embodied Documentary Filmmaking is a creative process developed as part 
of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's collaborative practice based 
research exploring the convergence of the body, somatic practices and 
experimental/documentary filmmaking. In these immersive and practical 
workshops, participants will join an international cohort of 10 
filmmakers to apply an embodied lens to the filmmaking process to create 
emotional and authentic short experimental documentaries on the theme of 
the body.

Participants will move through all stages of the documentary process 
through an embodied lens to make their own short films:

    Pre-Production: How can our bodies somatically, sensorially, and
    emotionally inform stories we want to tell through film?
    Directing: What informed creative and political choices do we make
    as directors on how we tell embodied stories?
    Shooting: How do we position or visualise the body, or create a
    representation of the experience of the body, with a camera?
    Editing: How do we construct bodily-informed, intuitive, and
    alternative narrative structures for our films?
    Distribution: Where do we want our films to be seen, and what
    social and personal impact do we want our films to have?


This workshop is suitable for participants of all levels of experience 
who have access to their own camera and a simple editing software. This 
workshop is for those who have faced marginalisation due to their gender 
in the film industry, which includes women, trans and non-binary people. 
Spaces are available on a sliding scale basis.

About IMPRINT

IMPRINT Documentary Collective is a feminist film collective exploring 
embodiment and the body in documentary film. Founded in 2021, IMPRINT 
delivers workshops, productions, and screenings to collectively 
experiment with embodied documentary filmmaking as a process for making 
films. Our collaborations both within the film industry and local 
communities have allowed us to reach a wide audience on the potential of 
embodied documentary, and our goal is to broaden the representation of 
marginalised storytellers by using the documentary medium as an act of 
radical and empathic resistance through the lens of the body politic.
