Improve your critical thinking skills and learn how to write film reviews and analyze and evaluate any other audiovisual media product within the Film Criticism workshop. Moldox Lab organizes the Workshop on 10-12 September in Cahul!
About the Workshop
In addition to rethinking the way you watch films, the Workshop aims to help train a critical view of media content as a whole.
In order to get people to consider you a reliable reviewer, whether you practice review writing as a hobby or it is your profession, rendering a clear and accurate picture of the film is not always enough. The review should invite dialogue, provoke questions and explore a broader context.
For three days, in a relaxed and creative atmosphere at the Moldox International Documentary Film Festival for Social Change and with expert Nick Holdsworth, you will learn how to analyze and approach films from different perspectives, discover techniques for writing reviews, and how to turn film criticism into a “story.” Last but not least, gain experience through practical exercises.
At the same time, during the Workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn about the filmmaking process, attend screenings of the Moldox Festival for which you will write reviews, and receive feedback from the tutor.
