Young Cuts!
The film-making workshop
“visual expression of your stories”

Overview:  
Although Nepal's history of films is more than 50 years old, Nepal movie industry still lacks innovation and creativity which has led to its downfall and foreign movies have got an upper-hand. However, in recent years young film-makers have entered the scenario with their creativity and innovation. But despite this, there is a lack of platform for other numerous young aspiring film-makers to learn the skills of film-making.

This workshop, divided in two parts, will teach participants basic film-making skills, Film Appreciation and Analysis, and Shooting Ethics. 

Part 1.
The filmmaking workshop (class based) will run for five days. During the training, the participants will make three films alongside learning from film related professionals. First film will be Photo-film where they will combine a number of pictures that speak of a story. The second film will be motion film without sound and text. In other words, this silent film will help to bring out creativity from the participants.
Part 2.
After learning the ideas like conceptualization, scripting, shooting, editing, etc. the participants will head to the field which will be the first major output of the workshop. The third and final film will be made after the completion of workshop where two teams will be divided and will make a film (stories will be pitched by the participants themselves) within a time period of fifteen days. This film will be the final project of the workshop. After completion of these two films, they will be screened in a larger audience, in places like movie theater. Film critics will comment on the films and the program will officially end with the distribution of certificates to the participants.

Overall, this workshop will help in creating new filmmakers who will come out with new stories that can bring change in the general picture of Nepali movie industry. It will also equip young people with necessary skills to present their ideas and thoughts on different social issues through visual medium. This workshop is designed for colleges’ level students and young people (below 27 years of age).
