Academy of Moving People & Images Test Workshop
In June 2018, with the support and collaboration of Perpetuum Mobile (PM), the Goethe-Institut Finland and Taike, the Academy of Moving People & Images put a fee-free filmmaking test-workshop into practice. The workshop was conceived as a hands-on course for three mobile participants: Helena Aleksandrova, Ramina Habibollah and Samra Šabanović. At the end of the workshop, they made their own short films and performed all essential roles in each other’s films, under the guidance of local film industry professionals.
In June 2018, with the support and collaboration of Perpetuum Mobile (PM), the Goethe-Institut Finland and Taike, the Academy of Moving People & Images put a fee-free filmmaking test-workshop into practice—a one-week intensive filmmaking workshop, directed by Erol Mintaş. The workshop was conceived as a hands-on course for three mobile participants who were interested in film production. During the workshop, we tested the learning methods of the Academy of Moving People & Images by working closely with the participants; practising the basics of filmmaking on set while the participants made their own films; and performing all the essential roles in them, under the guidance of mobile filmmakers and Finnish film industry professionals.
