Join us this June 2025 for Videography Direction from a Sustainable Perspective, a groundbreaking course designed for filmmakers who want to merge creativity with environmental responsibility. In today’s world, sustainability is more important than ever, and the film industry has a significant role to play in reducing its ecological footprint. This course will equip you with the knowledge and tools to direct high-quality videos while implementing eco-friendly practices.

Through hands-on projects and expert guidance, you’ll explore how ethical storytelling and sustainable production techniques can transform the way we create content. Whether you're an aspiring director or an industry professional looking to innovate, this course will empower you to lead the future of filmmaking in a way that respects both creativity and the planet. Enrol today and make a lasting impact through your lens!

We'll start with an on-line session (of roughly 1.5h) where we will introduce basic concepts and invite you to work on lightweight exercises in preparation for the in-person event.
