About
BODY NARRATIVES: An Online Film Workshop - 7 April or 17 May
As filmmakers, artists, and researchers, stories become our vehicles for sharing unique perspectives on the world. Yet, our bodies often hold different narratives from what we typically see in film - nonlinear, sensorial, and deeply felt, these stories can be just as compelling. But how can we access them?
If you are looking to learn more about embodied filmmaking, revitalise a current film project, or simply want to challenge yourself by going more in depth on experimental ways to work with moving image, join us for a two hour online workshop on "Body Narratives", and dive deep into the process of embodied documentary, or, how our bodies can play a crucial role in developing audiovisual work.
During the workshop, we will explore theories of the body's role in filmmaking, as well as:
- IMPRINT'S research and practice with 'embodied documentary' filmmaking
- Various embodied filmmaking techniques and their filmic results
- How to restructure stories to fit bodily experiences outside of the standard narrative structures used in film
- The role of relationships and reflection in filmmaking as a means of connecting to one's own body
- A sensorially informed 'screenplay' from the depth of our own bodies' knowledge
This two hour workshop will be offered two separate times, both online, on 7 April and 17 May. Tickets for either date are available on a sliding scale basis at the link below:
This workshop is suitable for documentary and fiction filmmakers, researchers using visual methods, artists from any field working with or interested in moving image, and anyone working with themes of embodiment and/or the body who want to learn more about filmmaking.
ABOUT IMPRINT
IMPRINT Documentary Collective is a feminist film collective focusing on embodiment and the body in documentary film. Founded by Erica Monde and Marta Massa in 2021, IMPRINT delivers workshops, residencies, productions, consultancies and popup screenings to experiment with the theme of embodiment as a process for making films. Our collaborations within the film industry and community initiatives have allowed us to reach a wide audience on the potential of embodied filmmaking, and our goal is to broaden the potential for representation of marginalised storytellers, using storytelling and the documentary medium as an act of radical and empathic resistance through the lens of the body politic. We are currently based between Scotland and Sardinia.
