  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Indie film and theatre non profit anarcha feminist organization qarttheatre wishes that Workawayers learn through hands-on experience in independent filmmaking, including three hours of daily filmmaking instruction and participation in scenes for a feature film. Depending on their interests, they can develop skills in set painting, gardening, costume design, sewing, sound recording, digital editing, archiving, and production. Living and working together in our rural Quebec community, sharing meals, and communicating in English, French, and if so inclined in German, Spanish, and Arabic will create a meaningful cultural and language exchange. We will welcome Workawayers as part of our creative team, learn from their skills and perspectives, and share our knowledge of filmmaking, theatre, activism, and collaborative artistic work
