[Commlist] Bodies of Water Documentary Filmmaking Workshop - Call for Participants

*
*
*EMBODIED DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING: Bodies of Water*
*Online, Tuesdays in July 2025*
*/For people of marginalised genders (women, trans, and non-binary 
participants)/*

/Embodied Documentary Filmmaking/ is a creative practice-as-research 
process developed as part of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's ongoing, 
collaborative work exploring the convergence of the body, somatic 
practices and experimental/documentary filmmaking. In our experimental 
workshops, participants join a small, international cohort of up to 10 
filmmakers, artists, and academics to apply an embodied lens to the 
subject of their choosing through the medium of film. Through a variety 
of collaborative embodied filmmaking exercises over the course of a 
month, participants will develop their own 1 - 10 minute short 
documentary or experimental film on a subject of their choosing related 
to water, the body, and embodiment, as well as becoming part of the 
wider IMPRINT Documentary Collective community.

/Bodies of Water/
Tuesdays 7-9:30 PM BST, Online
15, 22, 29 July, 5 August

During the workshop, each participant will create their own short film 
by moving through the main stages of documentary filmmaking through an 
embodied lens:

  * Pre-Production: How can our bodies somatically, sensorially, and
    emotionally inform stories 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 between the body and water, 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?

/These workshops are suitable for participants of all levels of 
experience who have access to their own camera and a simple editing 
software. Artists, movement practitioners, researchers, students and 
filmmakers are all welcome to join. //_These workshops are for those who 
have faced marginalisation in film due to their gender, which includes 
women, trans and non-binary people._/

*ABOUT IMPRINT*
IMPRINT Documentary Collective is a queer and feminist film collective 
exploring embodiment and the body in documentary filmmaking. Founded in 
2021, IMPRINT delivers workshops, productions, and screenings to 
collectively experiment with /embodied documentary filmmaking /as a 
process for making uniquely felt yet political 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 gender-marginalised 
storytellers by using the documentary medium as an act of radical and 
empathic resistance through the lens of the body politic.
