Afternoon Filmmaking Workshop for Older Adults (55+): Dreams, Objects, and Memoir

In this playful and experimental video workshop for older adults (ages 55+), participants will create short films inspired by memories, personal artifacts (objects, photographs, etc), and dreams. Participants will work individually and collaboratively to record and edit sound and video, learning fundamental skills while exploring the artistic potential of free association, repetition, and layering. The instructor will guide students of all levels in using smartphone cameras, audio recorders, and video editing software. The resulting short films may question the line between dream and memory or lead to a narrative story. The workshop will end with a screening and celebration of the finished work. No filmmaking experience is required, but participants should be confident using a computer. All equipment provided. Squeaky Wheel’s computer lab is outfitted with Apple desktop and laptop computers. Space limited to 8 participants. March 5 – 28 Wednesdays and Friday, 1–3:30 pm (4 weeks, 8 sessions) $30 members/$60 nonmembers
