From Sunday, September 15th, to Sunday, November 24th, the Film Liberation Project is offering a completely free, 12-week crash course in filmmaking. Whether
you’re a beginner or have some experience, this collaborative program is designed
to make filmmaking accessible to everyone. Plus, you’ll have the chance to showcase your work at the Made in Cov Festival in December!
The Film Liberation Project is all about breaking down barriers and empowering you to become a filmmaker. It’s about making the most of what you have, giving yourself
permission to try new things, and learning through hands-on experience. Over these 12 weeks, you’ll watch, discuss, collaborate, and even make mistakes—all as part of the learning process.
The course kicks off on Sunday, September 15th, at The Tin Music and Arts and wraps up on Sunday, November 24th. Led by local filmmakers Ben Cook and
Michelle Bailey, you’ll dive into different film genres and explore ideas that bring you
joy. You’ll also get to recreate your favourite movie scenes!
Throughout the program, you’ll work on your own projects and collaborate with others. With guidance from the filmmakers, you’ll learn new techniques, themes, and theories—all while adopting a “learn by doing” approach. The course is flexible, allowing you to engage as much or as little as you like, based on your learning style and interests.
There will also be opportunities for one-on-one sessions with the filmmakers to discuss your work and troubleshoot any challenges with fellow participants.
