A short, 2-week long intensive filmmaking course will be held at Objectifs from 26 November to 7 December, and is helmed by filmmaker Lionel Chok. This course is aimed at all aspiring filmmakers who want to tell their own stories — be it drama, documentary or experimental – and wish to learn both the creative as well as the technical skills. Prosumer DV cameras and accessories will be provided, and editing will be done on the Final Cut Pro terminals at Objectifs. Visit the website for more details.
Also at Objectifs is a week-long Scriptwriting Bootcamp by Lilian Wang, a freelance filmmaker who has written and directed for short films and television, who comes armed with 10 years of writing experience. Designed for writers with little or no film or television experience, this intensive workshop aims to build a solid foundation in screenwriting through a blend of lectures, writing exercises and guest seminars.
