Queer Mobile Filmmaking Workshop
As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting the creation of Irish LGBTQ film content, GAZE presents the MobDoc – Mobile Filmmaking Workshop, an initiative to encourage our festival audience to become active storytellers, to embrace their creativity, and to stimulate the propagation of Irish LGBTQ storytelling.
MobDoc involves practical exercises focused on learning how to tell LGBTQ stories utilising mobile filmmaking technologies. The aim is to teach people how to begin to challenge the narrative in LGBTQ films by developing skills to create a film during the workshop. Ultimately we hope to empower participants to tell their own stories using their smartphone.
The session will be facilitated by tutor Deirdre Mulcahy who has spent the last 11 years training BBC journalists, after a long successful career as a BBC camerawoman.
When: 10 PM Saturday, August 4
Where: Lighthouse Cinema, Smithfield, Dublin
