Making Films with People: Introduction to Care in Filmmaking
This talk is conducted as part of StoryMakers: Short Film Youth Competition 2026 by Mental Health Film Festival Singapore and Objectifs - Centre for Photography and Film
Stripping back the hard knowledge and skills it takes to make a film—the cameras, lights, wires,
data, equipment, this session will take emerging and first-time filmmakers through how to
approach the craft of filmmaking with one’s senses. How to attune yourself to the soft practices
of looking, seeing, listening and feeling, so your film has the heart-ware it needs for sensitive and mindful cinematic expression.
Facilitated by Giselle Lin, a Singaporean filmmaker and educator whose films have screened at Berlinale and Locarno Film Festival
