Call for Participants: "Bodies of Water": Documentary Filmmaking Workshop

Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. Due to interest/demand we have
opened up a second session of our Bodies of Water filmmaking workshop. All
levels of experience and areas of work are welcome on themes of the body
and/or water.

------------------------

*EMBODIED DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING WORKSHOP*
*Bodies of Water - Tuesdays in April/May*
*for women, trans, and non binary participants*
*Online*

*Embodied Documentary Filmmaking* is a creative process developed in 2021
as part of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's ongoing, collaborative practice
based research exploring the convergence of the body, somatic practices and
experimental/documentary filmmaking.

Our experimental workshops, first launched in 2021, allow participants to
join an international cohort of 10 filmmakers to apply an embodied lens to
the filmmaking process. Participants will leave the workshop with their own
1 - 10 minute short documentary or experimental film on a variety of themes
related to the body.

*Bodies of Water*
Tuesdays 7-9:30 PM GMT
22, 29 April, 6, 13 May 2025
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/embodied-documentary-filmmaking-bodies-of-water-womentransnb-registration-1303319416459?aff=oddtdtcreator

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 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 basic knowledge of using their own camera and a simple editing
software. Artists, movement practitioners, researchers, students and
filmmakers are all welcome to join. **This workshop is for those who have
faced marginalisation due to their gender, which includes women, trans and
non binary people.*

*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.
