Embodied Filmmaking Workshop "Bodies of Water" - August 2024

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please see below for our second rendition of the embodied documentary filmmaking course, "Bodies of Water": a four week experimental documentary workshop with IMPRINT Documentary Collective, open to researchers, filmmakers, artists, and practitioners of all filmmaking experience.


EMBODIED DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING: BODIES OF WATER 1, 8, 15, 22 August, Online (for women, trans, and non-binary participants)

Embodied Documentary is an evolving, experimental process of filmmaking developed as a part of IMPRINT Documentary Collective's ongoing artistic research exploring the convergence of the body politic, somatic practices, and experimental feminist filmmaking in creative documentary.

"Bodies of Water" is an online, 4 week filmmaking workshop where participants will make their own short documentary film on the relationship between the body, embodiment, and water(s) of all kinds. Exploring the intersections of the felt body, the sensorial, movement, the physiological, and the body politic, this workshop will create a space for collective experimentation with filmmaking techniques that focus on embodiment and the body in camera use, editing, and storytelling. The workshop will consist of a group of participants from all over the world, who will collaborate as a group on idea generation, feedback and exercises. Participants will engage in a mixture of live sessions and independent work, each leaving the workshop with their own 1 - 10 minute film, and as a member of the IMPRINT Documentary Collective.

RESERVE A SPACE Up to 12 spaces are available on a sliding scale basis at the link below: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/embodied-documentary-filmmaking-workshop-bodies-of-water-online-registration-942440293287

This workshop is suitable for participants of all filmmaking levels, from absolute beginner to professional. Participants must have access to their own camera (DSLR, analogue camera, smartphone, etc.). Filmmakers, artists, researchers, academics, and students from any discipline or area of work are welcome to join. The workshop is for women, trans, and nonbinary participants.

ABOUT IMPRINT IMPRINT Documentary Collective is an international feminist film collective focusing on embodiment and the body in documentary film. Founded in 2021, IMPRINT delivers workshops, productions, and screenings to collectively experiment with the theme of embodiment 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.
