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.
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.
Registrations are closing
soon so sign up as soon as possible!
