This course will give the participants a grounding in the basics of documentary making. Participants will work as a group to make a short documentary and will be given a copy of their work on DVD. A public screening of the films will be held in Galway City.
The tutor is documentary maker Paddy O'Connor, who has made numerous documentaries including the award winning documentary The Gamble, which was part of the RTÉ True Lives series. Other RTÉ screened documentaries, which Paddy made, include The Hill (stemmed from an ID project) and Jolly Fine Boating Weather. Paddy continues to work in the community as a filmmaker.
