Young people from both banks of Dniestre to participate in EU-funded film project

Chisinau, 14 March /MOLDPRES/- “Movies over the Dniestre” is the title of a documentary production project, due to be held this spring. Participants from both banks of the Dniestre can apply until 25 March.

A number of 16 young people aged between 17 and 25 from the right and left bank of the Dniestre will be selected within the project. They will be able to take part in an unusual workshop on 11-14 April.

“Being guided by professionals, young people will propose documentary film ideas, work on the field, shoot, edit images and analyze the work they have done. At the end, the films will be screened on the right and left bank of the Dniestre. The teams will be given financial support for the production of short films,” a press release by OWH Studio reads.

According to organizers, this is a “unique opportunity for journalists, producers, operators and all creative people and eager to tell stories of life with the camera.”

The project is carried out by OWH Studio in partnership with Apriori non-governmental organization in Traspol, with the financial support of the European Union under the programme “Support to confidence-building measures”, implemented by the United Nations Development Program.

The OWH Studio was founded in 1995, initially designed as a creative workshop for young people. Over time, a professional environment has been set, where the basic imperative is achievement of quality production in order to promote quality cinematography on the national and international market. Since 2001, OWH Studio has been organizing the International Documentary Film Festival CRONOGRAF in Chisinau.
