In addition to making films, I organise film projects in elementary and high schools, all around the world. School children learn to make their own video reports in a series of workshops and then collaborated on the production of a film.
Not consuming media, for a change, but producing it!
Basic filmmaking skills are taught in several workshops. The children themselves are actively involved from the start. One becomes a camera operator, while others are sound technicians, interviewers, reporters or actors. And if there is musical talent in the group, the soundtrack will be provided by the children too.
