Filmmaking in Southeast Asia and Beyond - Yamagata Rough Cut!
Filmmaking might be understood as the act of searching for and opening up a “cinematic space,” that encompasses but is not limited to film production. It could be a space where filmmakers collaborate, a film screening space where filmmakers and audience meet, a space of criticism where films in progress or completed works are being discussed, but it is, in its most fundamental sense, a space where one encounters and confronts oneself and the world.

Creating a Space for Film—Yogyakarta, Andes, Mindanao, Sendai, Kochie
What can be done when a space to create, screen, and discuss films cannot be found? In considering ways of how to open up new spaces for filmmaking, we discuss the role of “community” from the experiences of pioneers who have resisted big city-based film production, and created their own unique filmmaking spaces.
