The Free Film Lab offers the opportunity for young adults in Leipzig's east to share their perspective through a 7-week guerilla filmmaking program designed for first-time amateur filmmakers aged 16-36. Over the course of 7 weeks, participants will learn the fundamentals of filmmaking, including how to use a camera, record sound, and set up lighting.
There will also be more advanced workshops available for participants who would like to dive deeper into specific topics, like scriptwriting, sound, or documentary. By the end of the first week, participants form groups, and will have 6 weeks to produce a short film together. In the end, each team's film will be screened to the general public at a final gala on December 16th, 2022 at Ost Passage Theater.
The Free Film Lab seeks to empower the residents of East Leipzig to create independent representations of their lifeworld. Film offers is such a medium, allowing for the representation of one's perspective in the form of artistic and political expression.
Learn filmmaking through hands-on experience — all while making your very own film together with a group of other young filmmakers, a production assistant, and lots of mentors.
