Document Your Area: An Intro to Non-Fiction Filmmaking

This free, 5-week beginner's documentary film course is an introduction to non-fiction filmmaking and the creative possibilities of documentary. You will learn storytelling and research skills as well as practical filmmaking skills, including camera, editing and sound.

Over 5 sessions (2.5 hours each, including filming sessions over half term w/c 17 February), you will devise and shoot a short documentary film in groups of 2-3. Topics could include social issues such as gentrification, housing, and mental health, or an episode from local history but subjects will ultimately be decided by the participants.
