How To Make A Film is a resource for artists and filmmakers from satellite.

How To Make A Film is a digital series of interviews and learning resources, which will culminate in a physical and digital publication exploring socially-engaged moving image making. Part instruction manual, part manifesto, the digital series and final book explore the practicalities of, and make the case for, socially-engaged moving image work. 

Socially-engaged moving image can take many forms: finished outputs might feel like documentary, drama, artists' film, performance video, and many other things. What unites the discipline is a concern with process: the way questions like who makes the work, how, and for whom, might be leveraged for positive social change.

Content
