Deep Sight: A Black Feminist Film School Intensive Inspired by Toni Cade Bambara May 12th & 13th (6-8pm)
These are both virtual sessions.
Night One:
Character Development as Ancestral Remembrance
Film is a visual storytelling medium and at BFFS we approach it as visionaries. Whether you are a screenwriter or just working to envision a liberated future, this writing exercise brings tangibility and energy to our (given or chosen) ancestral relationships. It brings creative structure to what may currently only be a film or story idea. Bring an open heart or a character you have in mind and we will flesh out their motivation and resilience together.
Night Two:
After Toni Cade Bambara: Education of a (Community Accountable) Storyteller
In celebration of the new TCB School of Organizing Film and Toni Cade Bambara's legacy as a Black Feminist Filmmaker, this workshop dives deep into one of BFFS's sacred texts "Education of a Storyteller" by Toni Cade Bambara. Come to this workshop ready to write, revise, rethink and play with other community accountable storytellers.

Full intensive: $125 (2 nights)
