Attend this information packed free webinar presented by the Edmonton Screen Industries Office in partnership with IATSE 210 and WIFT Alberta and learn what to expect when you are called to work on a film set and what you are supposed to do when you arrive on set. This workshop will provide you with vocabulary and details about the chain of command in the film crew. Find out who does what, the behaviour that is expected of you, and what you need to bring to a call. This course is a requirement for IATSE Local 210’s film and TV members and permitted workers – and is recommended for newcomers to the film industry.

WIFTI World Wide Webinar
Filmmaking in Bangladesh: Cinema as Feminist Intervention
Date: 25th May, 2021
Time: 10am MST
Filmmaker and WIFTI Board Member Rubaiyat Hossain will be in conversation with filmmakers Elizabeth d’Costa, director of Bangla Surf Girls, 2021, and Zana Shammi, director of Untying the Know, 2020, on real impact of films on society.
We will discuss the systemic exclusion of women directors, but how in that, the act of filmmaking can become a space for the filmmakers as well as the characters to express themselves.
We will talk about how the films by women directors like Elizabeth d’Costa (Bangla Surf Girls, 2021), and Zana Shammi (Untying the Knot, 2020) create real impact on society by engaging young women surfers and survivors of domestic violence in a conservative Muslim society with a strong patriarchal culture. How can films can be a tool of feminist intervention for women to be seen, heard and create tangible changes in society?
