Introduction to the production of short films for virtual usage in the Single-Shot mode. The Participants get an introduction and are invited to join the Video-network of the Mahalla Festival. A travelling event of Arts, Film, Literature, Music and Theatre with several events running alongside it. We are engaging for a one world based on sustainability and equal access to safety and freedom. Short Films are used to share experiences and to initiate collaborative and co-creative Video-productions. During the session we will introduce the single-shot-methodology and show examples from the Mahalla-Video workshop with short films produced in 2020 in Turkey, Italy, Malta, Holland , Russia and Canada by emerging filmmakers from Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Malta, Macedonia, Eritrea, Holland, Germany, Italy, China, Canada and Russia. Our plan is to expand the network and to initiate Video-Clubs in different locations globally.
We will invite the Participants to join the Mahalla-Video-network that we are just establishing. During the Pandemic we started a workshop in June that is lasting until today. We are going to share responsibilities with our Co-Trainers and split groups, initiate new ones and expand the network. The Mahalla Film and Video-Club will start to do streaming sessions with movies from different participants from different parts of the world later.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:With 30 participants the interactivity will shrink to chat-room participation while three or up to 15 participants are able to interact directly with comments and questions.
