Documentary Filmmaking Workshop

-with Hannah Robinson, Laura Boardman

Location: Lesvos, Greece
Date: February 2016

This intensive 5 day workshop for beginners brought together members from both the displaced and host community to discuss and create around themes of vulnerability, resilience and self-esteem.

Each participant created an individual short-film expressing a broad range of issues from hopes and dreams; to integration in schools; to contrasts in experiences of the built environment.

Participants were surprised to discover the similarities they shared in their experiences of these concepts.
