Community Documentary Filmmaking is a 5-day workshop open to students in grades 8 through 12.

Your documentary team will select a subject for the film--this year the workshop takes place in downtown Batesville and will focus on some aspect of Batesville history. The resulting short film will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday, July 31, 2010.

NEW THIS YEAR!--

 

Poetry in Motion is a new beginner's videography workshop that combines filmmaking and poetry to create a video poem!  If you like poetry AND movies, think how much fun you'll have making a movie using the words of a poem. You and your filmmaking team will pick a poem (or write your own), then decide what moving images, sound, and music you'll use to communicate the meaning and feeling of the written words. Your video poem will be shown at the T Tauri Film Festival Finale Screening on Saturday, July 31, 2010.
