A series of workshops that provide practical tools to budding filmmakers. Just like a ferry that sails from place to place, Cinema South Festival seeks to transport the participants through significant stations on their professional paths. The Sparks workshop will focus on choice of content and language at the intuitive phase of filmmaking; the Short Film workshop, in collaboration with The Makor Foundation, will focus on submitting applications to film foundations and delve into the lector process; the Independent Cinema workshop will focus on the ways in which to create and direct a low budget independent film; the Journey to the First Film workshop will provide tools to make the shift from graduate film to first film as an independent filmmaker. A documentary pitching event will also take place for students, produced by the Israeli Documentary Forum and the Cinema South Festival..
