Documentary Bootcamp is a seven-week, immersive in-person learning experience covering the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking from pre- to post-production.
Your help is needed to advocate for refugees like Shekib and his family.
The Trump administration suspended the US refugee program and funding for refugee resettlement. This has stranded tens of thousands of refugees already vetted to enter the US and hundreds of thousands more who were in process.
Here are some options for your advocacy:
– Church World Services action-alert to oppose Trump’s indefinite refugee ban
– United in Welcome – Tell Your Elected Officials: We Value Welcoming
– Refugee Council – Quick Reference Guide and Top Four Ways to Take Action
Community Supported FIlm is very excited to share with you, Shots and Scenes, the first sample module from our online documentary training – Look Listen Local. Shots and Scenes is an educational tour-de-force about the power of visual storytelling.
Thoroughly enjoyable and well documented. Your film was strikingly informative of the cultures and harsh living conditions of the people of Afganistan.
It certainly makes you appreciative of the quality of life and opportunity we have here in the United States that we should not take for granted.
I thank you for expanding my world vision through AIFF. Continued success in the future.
I will be attending again tonight. Chris Adams
