From Film Collectives to Community Journalism

Join free workshop exploring collective approaches to media production.

Hosted by Newcastle-based artist Andrew Wilson this film lab invites you to explore the limitations of our existing media and experiment with collective alternatives and identify the potential for a ‘do it yourself’ media eco-system.

Looking at existing and historical models, from film collectives to community journalism, this film lab will introduce a range of examples from the UK, the US, and elsewhere (including: film-makers, journalists, artists, and active citizens) before inviting participants to identify possibilities from within our own communities or lived experience.

Who is this for?

This Artist Film Lab is for anyone interested in working with others to develop and sustain media ecosystems with a collaborative ethos and a commitment to marginalised or unheard voices. No prior experience is necessary.
