Ammar filmfest to hold filmmaking workshops

Ammar Popular Film Festival is to hold workshops for "filmmaking with smart phones".

The volunteers have to record a one-minute interview and send the video to the secretariat of the festival.

The deadline for the requests is until December 3, 2018.

The Ammar Popular Film Festival goes against promotion of “individualism and extreme enjoyment without caring about the society's troubles and other human suppression,” the event’s official website notes.

The festival also enjoys an international version which aims “to raise real awareness and responsibility among the general public,” the website reads, adding the event’s mission is to create an atmosphere in which independent filmmakers and thinkers can gather together.

The 9th edition of the event is slated for December 27, 2018 – January 6, 2019.
