Academy for Southeast Asian Filmmakers workshops set for Bangkok, Jakarta

Mofilm, an outfit that puts on short-film contests around the world and acts as a social-network for indie filmmakers, will launch the Academy for Southeast Asian Filmmakers with workshops in Bangkok and Jakarta in May.

Here's a bit more about it from an e-mail:

Chevrolet and Mofilm have partnered to celebrate, foster and nurture filmmakers from across Southeast Asia, through the Academy for Southeast Asian Filmmakers (ASAF). The Academy workshops will be a free three-day course that will develop filmmaking expertise. The course, created and delivered by experts from the local filmmaking industry, will cover several aspects of filmmaker theory and practice, with a focus on developing the storytelling skills. Spaces on the Academy workshops – held in Jakarta from May 11 to 13 and Bangkok from May 15 to 18 – are limited and subject to application. The creative brief by Chevrolet will be a key part of the seminars, but is also open to creatives who didn’t attend the workshops. More details about the programme or to apply please visit mofilm.com/ASAF.

Spaces are limited. The application deadline is on March 31.
