The workshop is intended for people belonging to underrepresented groups with a passion in filmmaking. Although the common teaching is held in English, you do not need to worry about language barriers; We can also use Finnish, Arabic, Dari/Farsi, Pashto and Urdu. The workshop will be tailored by everyone’s own needs and will be held in groups as well as individually. Throughout the year the workshop includes making four short documentaries, as well as lectures on film theory with visiting teachers, students and professionals from the field.

During the filmmaking exercises we cover the whole production process from start to finish; you will learn everything from screenwriting to post-production. All the necessary equipment will be provided by the workshop if you don’t have any of your own, so you do not need to worry about it.

​

The workshop is mainly organized and held by Aimal Hakimi and made in collaboration with Refugee Film Festival.
