Dmytro Tiazhlov’s workshop will be based on the experience of the Indie Lab project – a two months practical course in documentary filmmaking held by American and Ukrainian professionals. The project resulted in the almanac of documentary shorts “Ukraine_Voices”. At the workshop you will understand why an edited video is not yet a film, learn to prepare for a documentary shooting, create an episode plan and process lengthy daily rushes, as well as start a distribution of your film.
