Onion Films announces new batch for Young Cuts! the accountability film-school, first kind of film workshop for young people in Biratnagar. This workshop is going to be held in collaboration with Birat College and Bikalpa with support from Accountability Lab. 

In this 4th batch of film-school, we are focusing to capture local stories on the different issues of accountability from Biratnagar where we believe that produced films will help in making citizens and power-holders more accountable. 

Topics
The meaning and importance of accountability, raising accountability issues through visual media
Conceptualization, Story selection, planning, 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 5 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.

This workshop is open for all young and aspiring film-makers age of 18-30 from Biratnagar.
