Call for film and sound projects | Writing Workshop, Cinémathèque Beirut, Aswat Festival, 6-8 November 2025 in Beirut — LIMITE: 24/08/2025
For many years, sounds and images have been valuable research materials, enabling to explore new ways of investigating and reconstructing knowledge. Documentary writing in particular offers the opportunity to cross the modes of thinking of sound and image, bringing together cinema/sound and the human and social sciences.
The documentary film and sound writing workshop is aimed to explore film and audio documentaries as a means of making and/or disseminating research. It enables participants to engage in individual and collective reflection on documentary filmmaking and narrative techniques specific to image and sound, while making concrete progress on their production project, whether in its initial phases or already underway. Led by Rayya Badran (author, curator of contemporary art and sound), Danielle Davie (anthropologist and filmmaker) and Anna Roussillon (director and editor), this workshop is divided into two parts: one focusing on the intention and writing of participants’ projects, the other on the « staging » of images and/or sounds (rushes).
How to participate:
The workshop is open to all those involved in a documentary film project or essay using images and sound, whether in the fields of humanities, social sciences or arts. Projects can be presented and discussed in Arabic, French and English. Participants agree to participate in the entire workshop and in the festival screenings, and to submit, at the end of the festival, an illustrated workshop diary or feedback report of 1,000 to 1,500 words, which will be the subject of an open-access web publication.
We invite you to submit your project before August 24, 2025, via this application form with :
– a short CV (highlighting your main research projects and themes, as well as your previous experience with images and/or sound);
– a note of intent ;
– a presentation of the production project, specifying the choices made (tools and methods) and the expected results, as well as the project’s progress in terms of writing and production (financing, filming, institutional support);
– an extract or selection of rushes (15′ max)
