The Girls‘ Focus Workshop of the Dortmund | Cologne International Women‘ s Film Festival offers young women from the age of 16 a weekend course providing a professional orientation in the film branch. Apart from the opportunity of making your own first films, it is particularly the meetings with women specialists from a very wide variety of film working areas such as directing, camera, sound, scriptwriting and editing, the exchange of information on festival films and – a central part – the topic-related practical day, intended to offer them an insight into the world of film: Schnittmuster [Cutting Sample] is the title of the sixth Girls‘ Focus Workshop, in which film editor Nina von Guttenberg will explain the basics of film editing. Participants practice how image and sound recording are deliberately transformed into a new unit, in theory and in practise. The weekend workshop is concluded with the workshop discussion with Angelina Maccarone.
