Hands-on training in filmmaking for Qataris
23 August 2009
DOHA: At least ten Qatari youth will get a hands-on training in filmmaking as the Doha Youth Centre, in partnership with the Office of Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) under the US department of State's Bureau for Near Eastern Affairs, is set to launch a project involving youth to promote democracy and development through visual media.
Selected Qataris, belonging to an age group of 16-25, will be engaged in a 64-hour-long project from August 29, 2009. They will be given comprehensive, theoretical and practical training in short film making enabling them to reflect their perspectives on specific national issues through visual media, the camp director and the award winning Qatari film maker Abdulrahman Najdi told The Peninsula yesterday.
During the workshop, the young Qataris will learn more about how films are made, how scenarios are written and how people express their pints of view through film.
