Always wanted to make a film? Have a film but need help editing it? Want to make connections and speak to other queer filmmakers? This is a workshop for amateur filmmakers or those looking to improve on basic skills. It would be helpful if you had some kind of recording equipment such as a camera or phone, but this isn’t strictly necessary. Although we’ll be focusing on documentary and experimental film, you’ll learn transferable skills which can be applied to all aspects of DIY filmmaking.

Our experienced workshop leaders will take you through every step of the DIY-filmmaking process, from conception and pre-production through to organising your shoot, setting up shots and direction and finally to editing and post-production. The tutorial section will run for two hours, followed by an hour of one-on-one tuition with workshop leaders. There will be a short break and tea, coffee and biscuits.

The Cinema Museum is fully wheelchair accessible with gender neutral toilets and plenty of quiet spaces to go should you need some down time. If you do have additional needs please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Workshop leaders:

Rob Eagle is an in-house multimedia producer at University College London where he works with academics across the university to turn their research into short films. He also freelances in documentary film and radio, having previously worked on TV documentaries for the BBC and Discovery Channel. His most recent short documentary ‘Dressing Queer’ is screening this year at film festivals around the UK.

Tristan Bell is a young DIY filmmaker whose work spans a number of genres and mediums. Working in small numbers or independently, Tristan believes in self-sufficiency and organicity when it comes to making films.

The workshop will be held from 12.00 to 15.00.
