Atölyemor: Women's Cinema Workshop

Atölyemor that is only for women goes on aiming to make women’s histories, words, problems, archievements and dreams, that is women’s all life experiences more visible/ to be expressed by women, and aiming to support women’s participation to cinema.

In 2004, Atölyemor started its way with a cinema workshop that meets women’s opportunities, experience and information and shares all of them. It includes film reading, preparation, script- oral history, shotting and editing, film critique with consultancy of instructors and women and every year approximately 15 women have the opportunity of having information and experience about cinema.

Every year, women produce films and experience cinema information from film critiques to film making in our workshop. Workshops had been done in Istanbul in 2004, 2005 and 2007 and it was done in Diyarbakir in 2007. In all these workshops 9 film was shot and one critique was written.
