Does the average movie buff read films differently from critics? Do you read films differently if you are a storyteller yourself? Unlike books, films leave a lot less to your imagination. Between film appreciation and criticism lies an often ignored aspect of cinema: Film reading. This two-hour workshop will attempt to change the way you read films, a storytelling medium that's evolving with every film made every month, especially, in our rapidly changing times where attention spans are dwindling and movie-watching has become a social, community-based exercise.

Have you ever wondered how a writer becomes a writer? What are the stories of women who tell stories (fiction and non-fiction) as a profession? The Women’s Storytelling Salon creates and documents these stories. It provides a multi-generational platform for women to share stories with each other...younger women to see what older women are doing, and older women to see what younger women are dreaming of and supporting them to make this their reality. It documents stories of women’s accomplishments, so that women are recognised for their contributions in this world. The Core Values that drive the Storytelling Salon are the 4Cs: Credibility: real and authentic stories; Contribution: stories reveal how every woman contributes to society in big and small ways, and is sometime completely invisible; Candor: openness and honesty in telling a story; Confidentiality: safe space to share stories To know more visit https://www.facebook.com/thewomenstorytellingsalon
