World Film Collective teaches sustainable filmmaking to young people around the world, giving them the freedom to represent themselves to a global audience, and the knowledge and skills to do this using 21st century technology. We reach our target group in their own environment, and use equipment that is sustainable, accessible and affordable. Our workshop participants are aged between 10 - 25 years and are living in communities which are facing issues such as low employment opportunities, exclusion from mainstream society, living below the poverty line and poor access to education.
Our objectives are:
1. To give marginalised young people the skills and confidence to make films.
2. To guide young people towards further education, training and employment.
3. To work with a network of organisations and workshop tutors, sharing knowledge and expertise
4. To harness the potential of the internet for film education, cultural exchange and creative interaction
We are dedicated to the progressive use of new media, and maximising its potential to help young, disadvantaged people access the digital revolution and benefit from the economic opportunities it provides.
