Cairo 1:1 - Documentary Film Workshop



About the Workshop

Cairo 1:1 is a workshop, led by Anke Riester, for anyone who has a story to tell and would like to learn the fundamentals of documentary film-making. In this hands-on documentary filmmaking laboratory you will be professionally guided through the development of your own short documentaries reflecting 1:1 encounters with the city. Over the course of the workshop, you will receive theoretical and practical input as you develop on their respective projects. The goal of this workshop is to make the medium of film a more accessible tool.

Our goal as Urbn is to bridge knowledge and skill, as well as to connect our community with professionals who share our values and have world-class talent.
