In production – Look Listen Local lived-reality documentary filmmaking training

October 29, 2024

CSFilm’s Look Listen Local (LLL) learning program in lived-reality documentary filmmaking is currently in production!

LLL will be an on-demand, online resource of instructional videos and supporting materials that cover essential skills in camera work, editing, sound production, and storytelling. The videos will be paired with hands-on ‘Skill-Builder’ and ‘Brain-Game’ exercises, designed to support the production of short documentary films.

LLL will be accessible to anyone, but our target audience is storytellers, activists, community leaders and organizations working in underrepresented and misrepresented communities worldwide. We are grateful to those from this audience who are generously providing feedback as we develop and refine the program. LLL will provide the creative and technical skills to produce films that raise issues of concern for local, national and international audiences.

Our first instructional video on shooting shots and scenes is now in post-production. We look forward to sharing it with you soon.

Zayde Buti and Michael Sheridan, LLL training team

Michael Sheridan is one of the best teachers one could hope to have. He has a genuine commitment to facilitating students’ ability to realize their vision, which is backed by a deep understanding of technology and technique. I had the pleasure of hiring Michael to teach over twenty years, and student reviews were always excellent.

Five Dark Years – the Fall of Humanity and the Silencing of a Generation

Five years have passed since the fall of Afghanistan—a period that, for millions of people, has meant far more than lost years. It has been five years of humiliation, deprivation, fear, silence, and the gradual erosion of hope and human dignity.

Five years ago, Afghanistan fell into the hands of a group that, instead of building a future, closed the doors of life on its people. During these five years, the Taliban have not moved toward reform or change. On the contrary, with each passing day, restrictions have expanded and life has become increasingly difficult for millions of Afghans. The rights to education, work, freedom of movement, social participation, and many of the most basic freedoms of human beings—particularly women and girls—have been taken away.
