Two Workshops

During the film week, a four day film workshop led by UK artist Joe Magee and film expert Dominique Green will be held for young film makers and artists of Hanoi from 28 to 31 October at the Hanoi Cinematheque, 22A Hai Ba Trung. The workshop will focus on how to make a community film, how to get a film financed, how to approach international film festivals… and an overview of all the professions involved in the production, distribution and exhibition of films .

Within the four days, young Vietnamese film makers will have chance to exchange their ideas, to understand more about the international film industry and to explore some further collaboration with the UK artists.

Apart from the film workshop, Joe Magee will also deliver a one day workshop on illustration for arts students and young designers of Hanoi on 27 October at the same venue- Hanoi Cinematheque.

Young film makers and artists, fine arts students, young designers who are interested in these two workshops can contact Ms Luong Hang to register for any of the two.
