“United we film !”
Community, Campaign and Training Courses for visual participation to society daily issues
Visual stories are now powerful instruments for social understanding, expression and change. Learn how to use Social Sciences, Visual Arts and Cinematography, in order to become an effective Visual Storyteller of you ideas.
The Academy of Film, Cross-Media and Socio-Visual Development CINEIMPACT organizes a cycle of courses supporting transdisciplinary education in the realization of documentary films and multimedia projects dedicated to the expression of society’s daily problems. Those passioned about about enriching their knowledge and practical skills in Visual Storytelling, Documentary Filmmaking and Multimedia may submit applications for the courses enrollment at the address contact@cineimpact.org.
CINEIMPACT operates as a platform for research, development and education in designing cinematic, visual representations of non-fiction. This independent initiative is not intended to overlap or duplicate the courses existing in traditional institutions, but precisely to complement them. Maintaining collaborative relationships with the institutionalized academic approaches, CINEIMPACT is a catalyst for education and production that uses in a convergent manner the resources of Social Science, Visual Arts and Film. Within the daily carousel of our constructible and de-constructible “realities”, this initiative proposes a re-equipment of our understanding with creative tools, corresponding to the new challenges of our current informational universe.
