Delve into the technicalities of film lighting at this free workshop, prioritising and supporting women and non-binary film directors whose work deals with queerness.
Other People's Crafts are workshops devised by the film production company Other People’s Films, to bring together talented and like-minded individuals. You’ll learn about the technicalities of lighting for film and video, and how you can apply it to your projects. Led by established Lighting Director of Photography Sarraa, we’ll explore lighting through a theoretical introduction and hands-on tutorial, developing your knowledge, language, and confidence lighting film scenes and working with film professionals and technicians. Join us to learn new skills, meet, exchange and pave the way to new collaborations.
Please bring your smartphone to the workshop, to use for filming.
Other People's Films is a film production company and collective founded by Antonia Luxem and May Ziadé. Its aims are twofold: to produce ambitious films and moving image work that sit at the intersection of experimental and narrative, and to develop the careers of women, non-binary and trans moving image and film directors.

This event marks the launch of an itinerant workshop series by Other People's Films, that aim to develop the technical filmmaking skills of women and non-binary film directors. Their upcoming workshops will include insights into the craft of grips and riggers, pre-viz and in-camera VFX technologies, stunts people, and we’ll have workshops inspired by other departments that tend to be cis-male dominated.
