ADVOCACY-VIDEO SEMINAR

ADVOCACY-VIDEO SEMINAR, April 13, 2008.

Become aware it is a myth that the moving image language of video is only for the specially gifted, or elite few; anyone who has learned a language can also learn to be fluent with the visual language of video. Explore the dynamic uses of video for advocacy work. This seminar is designed to inspire you to use the most powerful language of the age as a tool for the advancement of your particular advocacy, from community and human resource development, values education, education in general, health care, women’s issues, peace building, human rights, preservation of the environment, arts and culture...all towards the uplifting of consciousness and social change.

Resource speaker will be Surf Reyes, who was the founding director of Mowelfund Film Institute, and founding president of LOVE Foundation (Laboratory On Value Education). Surf has over 30 years of experience in film and video production, and is the Director/Cinematographer/Editor of his own company Cintel Productions. He has been teaching film and video making in schools and universities, and holding workshops around the country on advocacy video.
