ECO Film Lab

Film residency is a very popular filming education initiative in Europe & America. This is basically outside-of-classroom non-formal “learning by doing” filming education. We are going to arrange an Eco-Friendly film residency program titled “ECO Film Lab” in the Tanguar HAOR Sunamganj, Bangladesh.
Through this residency program, we will explore local nature, culture, the inside story of a human being as well as climate change. In this 15-day intensive filming residency filmmakers will get international standard mentoring under global film professionals with hybrid learning pedagogy. In this tailor-made training, they will make group short films and create content on their own. Abroad filmmakers will get a unique experience with different natures and cultures.
