The Asian Film Archive cordially invites students, especially those with a passion for film, to sign up as student leaders of Cineodeon 2008, a
youth-initiated cinema chain project designed to help students learn
how to programme and manage a film screening, under the mentorship of
industry professionals.
To equip these
leaders with the necessary skills and resources to organise these
screenings, we have scheduled a series of training sessions in which
students will be tutored on film literacy, programming and promotion
techniques, as well as the facilitation of post-screening discussions.
The first of these preparation workshops is the one-day Cineodeon Boot
Camp, where students will meet with teams from other participating
schools, and also their mentors who will guide them in planning for
their screening in August.
Date:12 July 2008 (Saturday) Time:9:00am – 6:00pm Venue:Singapore Management University (SMU) 60 Stamford Road, Singapore 178900 Map: http://www.smu.edu.sg/campus/images/smu_map.jpg |
Besides organising their film screening, outstanding Cineodeon teams will have an opportunity to present on their learning journey at an attendant event, Symposium on Singapore Cinema. Held in September, the Symposiumaims to showcase the achievements of student critics, jurors and programmers to the wider film community in Singapore.
Interested students should form teams of 5 – 8 and send a courtesy email to [email protected]. More information and the registration form will be sent to them. Forms can be reverted via email ([email protected]) or fax (65431643). An acknowledgement email will be sent to the team leader and teacher i/c upon receipt.
