Young Cuts!
The accountability film-school

Audio-visuals can be powerful medium for spreading ideas, changing perceptions, telling the untold stories of corruption in our society, and making citizens and power-holders more accountable. 

Following the successful closing of our first accountability film-school, Onion Films announces the opening of second accountability film-making workshop. With the objective of “engaging youth for telling accountability stories” we Onion Films and Accountability Lab are jointly announcing the Young Cuts! - a twenty-day film-making workshop totally designed for beginners and young people. Application forms are available for download in the link below.

Topics
The meaning and importance of accountability, raising accountability issues through visual media
Conceptualization, Story selection, planning,
Cinema psychology
Camera technique, writing script
and editing short films.

The "hands-on" approach will be emphasized. By the end of the workshop, participants will produce four short-films on four best stories selected from the participants’ ideas.

This workshop will be divided into two parts:

Part 1: The class-based film-making workshop will run for six days. During this “hands-on” training, the participants will learn from several filmmakers and accountability-related professionals, and then make two films 1. Photo-film where they will combine a number of pictures that tell a story. 2. Motion film (silent film) without sound and text.

Part 2: Participants will be divided into 2-4 teams, will select a story based on accountability-related stories pitched by the participants themselves in the idea market, and will produce the film within a time period of fifteen days as their final project.
