Documentary Film Editing Workshops

Thursday, September 12, 2019, 5:30 PM – Wednesday, September 18, 2019, 8:00 PM

-

Director Adam Isenberg and Writer/Director of Photography Noah Arjomand both taught workshop participants the basics of video editing software and led discussions about the creative process and ethics of documentary filmmaking. Participants received hands-on experience editing some of the 900+ hours of footage Isenberg and Arjomand shot for the documentary "Caring for Kathryn." The film provides an intimate look at the life of a family struggling with the mother’s disability and terminal illness. The workshop provided an opportunity for a conversation about the power of editing—selecting and arranging raw footage to create a narrative—and how editors can use that power sensitively, honestly, and artfully.

The workshop was recommended for people 13 or older.

  • A prize was awarded to “Best in Workshop.”
  • There were 15 participants.
  • All equipment was provided.
  • A light meal or snack was provided.
  • The workshop co-leader was Noah Arjomand.
