Portsmouth City Council/Find Your Talent

Film Feast: Film Maker/Workshop Facilitator

Introduction:

Using an experienced filmmaker, Portsmouth City Council would like to host, over a 6 week period, film making workshops for young people in three target areas of Portsmouth, to make 3 films exploring their perceptions of the hidden gems of the city. They would work with partners in the city to contact young people who have not previously had any experience of filmmaking but who were interested in the genre and exploring their city.

With an eye on the future they would like to look at the possibility of developing the city's' young peoples' capacity to engage with the art of running a film/cinema night.

Facilitators Role:

Your role would be to create a safe and creative filmmaking workshop framework that would engage young people in the process of making and completing a film ready to screen. While it is imperative for you to have your own vision and have the ability to articulate this well, you must have the capability to listen to, and take on board the ideas of the group to allow them to formulate a sense of pride towards their work.

The facilitator/film maker will be expected to be flexible and available to work in spaces that are multi use. Access to your own equipment is an imperative. The timeline for the completion of the film-making aspect of this project will be mid to end of May 2010.

Budget available includes:

A total of £3,950 is available to include all fees, expenses, materials, travel, equipment hire and filming costs. Fees will be payable on the completion of the phases of the project, to be set out in an agreement with the City’s Arts and Cultural Development Service.

Candidates will be selected for interview by members of Portsmouth City Council’s Arts & Cultural Development Service. Interviews will take place on 17th March.
