"Escape" - Festival Workshop feat. 48 Hour Film Challenge
The workshop will be run by film teachers Dave Green and John Digance who have run successful academic and creative courses in the University and Community sectors in Britain, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Pakistan and China.
In their words: "This year’s workshop theme is Escape. It might be physical, mental, realist or fantasy escape. The choice is yours. We will watch and discuss short films and extracts that are related to the workshop topic – and then, two days later, your short films."
All events, meetings and screenings as part of the workshop will be in English. Participants will have to provide their own equipment and editing facilities.
