Video Art and Experimental Film Production workshop 
Led by artists Peter Aerschmann & Mark Lotfy

We are thrilled to resume the activities of Cairo Video Festival 7 by announcing a call for applications for a production workshop for video art and experimental films.

The workshop will take place from 16 March until 16 April at Medrar.

The workshop targets visual artists; and prior experience in video art making and previous works are not a prerequisite.

Five projects will be selected to be produced during the workshop, with up to 1,000 USD as production budget per piece, to be produced under the supervision of both trainers.

The workshop includes 12 sessions, jointly led by Peter Aerschmann and Mark Lotfy, during which concepts will be discussed, developed, and produced. And some of which will be technical on editing, cinematography, animation, and production.

We encourage applicants from outside Cairo to apply; Medrar is able to provide accommodation for one participant from outside Cairo during the month of the workshop.

Terms & Conditions:
Participant must commit to attending all the sessions on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays, from 6pm until 9pm.
Participant must bring a laptop during the sessions. It is preferable to have a DSLR camera too.
Pay workshop fees: 200LE
