Synopsis

"Jacqueline is hospitalized in a long-term care unit. Kani, her life assistant, followed her from her home to the hospital. Over time, the two women have established a very strong relationship.

Facing Jacqueline's sick body, her altered memory, there is Kani's build and her sense of life. Jacqueline is my mother.

All three of us are in the same boat and this film is our journey."

About : Hands-on documentary filmmaking

The workshop is conducted in French, so a certain level of proficiency in the language is required to fully benefit from the training.

If you do not speak French, keep an eye on workshops organized abroad, by following our news

This intensive training, combined with the Hands-on Documentary editing course, allows participants to engage with the fundamentals of documentary filmmaking. After a brief period of technical initiation, analysis of reference works, scouting, and writing, each participant will move on to filming a short film on a common theme. The editing is carried out by an editing trainee under the supervision of professional editors. The goal is to understand the essential relationship between director and editor.
