The Pan-Pacific Media Training Project opens for applications

CBA has again partnered with the Pacific Media Assistance Scheme and a team of international media tutors to provide a unique documentary training opportunity. The course will be offered free of charge to selected digital filmmakers from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.

The project, now in its second year, aims to support emerging Pacific talent by providing relevant skills training. The course is also designed to include a legacy element supporting the development of a Pan-Pacific peer group of digital storytellers who will be able to work together and support each other in the long term – bringing the unique visions of Pacific storytellers to the global media stage.

This course is designed to deliver comprehensive experience of digital documentary production including social media skills to increase the visibility and confidence of Pacific digital media-makers.

The programme will begin in Tonga on 21 October 2014 and will offer a 10-day intensive course of training to participants who will learn creative narrative documentary filmmaking via practical and engaging workshops.

Applications close on 31 August 2014
