VFC Education :: Summer Video Documentary Workshop
As a part of ongoing Vision & Voice training opportunities in ethnographic research and documentary production, the Vermont Folklife Center will offer a four-day intensive video documentary class, Discovering Community Through Video Documentary July 14–Thursday, July 17, 2008.
Discovering Community Through Video Documentary trains educators in the skills of video production and models the use of video documentary in the classroom. This workshop combines the methods of ethnographic discovery research with the techniques of documentary video production to facilitate projects that both draw knowledge from—and return knowledge to—students’ home communities. Over the course of an intensive four-day workshop participants will work with video producer Paul MacGowan in a learning environment that models an ethnographic approach to community inquiry and teaches skills to create a video documentary.
