We learn by doing. We share resources, skills and knowledge to support eachother's creative endeavours. By pooling our physical and mental resources, we make films in a spirit of collaboration, inclusivity and solidarity, supply a lending library of film equipment for creative projects, organize free, at cost or donation based workshops, and host film screenings.
