One-Day / Weekend Workshops

Northwest Film Forum classes and workshops are designed to instruct filmmakers on both the mechanical skills required in current filmmaking technology and the artistic application of tools to explore the critical and emotional range of the cinematic experience. Classes and workshops are taught by working artists: filmmakers, writers, producers and editors.

Explore filmmaking by doing it. We do not want you to make a commitment you are uncomfortable with; we offer a wide range of classes and workshops that can be taken at whatever pace you prefer. Whether you are new to the art and plan to plunge into filmmaking as a career or you have purchased your own equipment and wish to drop in on a few certifications to learn more, our classes are for you. NWFF's curriculum offers a complete education in nearly all aspects of filmmaking. Multi-session classes meet weekly and offer in-depth, hands-on experience with filmmaking tools, while one-day workshops offer both insightful lectures and practical techniques on current filmmaking topics.

Lyrical Filmmaking: The Art of Documenting Musicians with Vincent Moon

Visiting Filmmaker!

Lyrical Filmmaking: The Art of Documenting Musicians with Vincent Moon
Saturday, Aug 21, 12–3pm 
Instructor: Vincent Moon
Tuition: $10/WigglyWorld members, $12/general 
Max Attendance: 30
 
With his repertoire of short films that capture musicians in intimate settings and without amplifiers or special effects, Vincent Moon has reinvented the music video as a documentary. Since studying under photographers Michael Ackerman and Antoine D'Agata, Vincent's widely seen films are made available online under the moniker Take Away Shows. In the pursuit of exploring music visually, Vincent's films contain an abstract quality but without superfluous embellishments. Vincent will show recent work and talk about his approach to creating his special aesthetic and his unique, non-commercial method of distribution.
