Look at Me
This project inspiration came from the desire of our team to meet the children and youths from the orphanages with the world of the cinema and to provide them access to the film making process as a new tool of self-expression. In such a way we will give a chance to the young people in nonequivalent social status, with already proved talent, to get involved in other type of artistic work and thus indirectly to reveal their problems. These state “houses” for children without parent care cannot provide access to the cinema as an audio and visual instrument for self-expression because of the high prices of the technical equipment required for the movie shooting. As a part of the film we are going to invite specialists from the movie area (script writer, director, cameraman, artist, editor), who together with the children, will write a script and realize it into a complete movie. We will examine and document the whole process – from the script drafting, through actors’ casting, location scouting, shooting and work with camera, directing, editing. The documentary film “Look at me” will finish with the film of the children we are going to work with.
