Dear all,
Apologies for cross posting.
Are you interested in including Video in your research? Our short courses have enabled dozens of social researchers and research teams to successfully use visual methods in their projects.
We have new dates scheduled over spring/summer.
3-day Participatory Video Workshop (12-14 June 2019; 25-27 September 2019)
Participatory Video techniques enable protagonists of your research to engage in video productions and express what really matters to them. Participatory Video is an incredibly effective tool to engage research participants in producing knowledge in a collaborative and inclusive way.
Based on Spectacle’s 30+ years long experience in community video and PV projects, we have designed a workshop for researchers and practitioners who are interested in setting up shared productions. The Participatory Video Workshop goes through the whole process of setting up participatory film projects, assumes no prior technical skills and provides a shareable induction to filmmaking and collective editing.
Weekend for Anthropologists and Social Researchers (18-19 May; 20-21 July)
The course provides participants with a solid foundation of practical knowledge of how to use video in your research field: a working understanding of digital cameras, sound recording, interview techniques, filming on location and industry language.
Smartphone filmmaking (30 April; 2 May; 7 June; 17 June; 19 July; 2 August)
The course will provide you with the skills and confidence you need to produce effective and engaging short videos on a low budget. We will present the key features of successful phone video making, demystifying the technology in a friendly and welcoming learning environment.
We can also bring all our courses out to your organisation and tailor the content to your specific needs.

About Mark Saunders

As Director/Producer, Mark leads Spectacle's ground breaking participatory media work.
About me
I am an anthropologist and filmmaker. I carried out ethnographic research in the Bolivian Andes on indigenous politics, ritual fights and mining conflicts. I am starting a new PhD research, aiming to set up a participatory video group in the Bolivian Andes to let protagonists tell their stories about transnational mining companies and about the impact gold extraction projects had on local indigenous groups (here’s the link <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USkRin_MzOE> to a short film about this story). The research will critically investigate the ethics and aesthetics of participatory video processes and outcomes.
