Cimatheque-Alternative Film Centre in partnership with Les Ateliers Varan is now accepting applications for the Documentary Filmmaking Workshop, which will take place from July 2oth to August 13th, 2015. 9 participants will be selected to take part in a 3 weeks highly intensive workshop providing them the opportunity to direct a documentary film, from its conception to its completion.

Les Ateliers Varan's methodology is based on the making of "real scale" films and learning through practice. The workshop doesn't deal with production as such, in so far as the apprentice film-makers in training have a right to make mistakes. This workshop hopes to help participants analyze and verbalize their desire for film and confront themselves to the work of directing and to the critical exterior look.

This programme is targeted at those with a first experience of media who wish to gain a professionalizing training in creative documentary filmmaking.
