Qatar residents will have the opportunity to take part in a number of workshops and talks by Qatar Museums (QM) and its partners, in addition to visiting some of its ongoing exhibitions this month.
The Doha Film Institute (DFI) will organise an online course Screenwriting for Beginners from August 25-29, giving participants the chance to “discover the creative process of writing for the screen, all from the comfort of your own home”.
The five-day workshop includes “the foundations of screenwriting, with mentors covering the ‘architecture’ of screenplays (storytelling, screenplay guidelines, non-verbal storytelling and characterisation) and the ‘formatting’ of a screenplay (visual grammar and Celtx/Final Draft)”.
“Taught remotely, the lab is offered in English, blending online lectures, assignments, and group discussions to give participants a comprehensive and well-rounded understanding of screenwriting,” the DFI said on its website. “As this is a beginner’s lab, the aim is for participants to produce a minimum of one scene for their screenplay.”
“They will also have the opportunity to continue their filmmaking journey with the DFI development team, working towards further education and grants,” the DFI added.
The Lab fee is QR300, but Culture Pass members are entitled to a 10% discount.
The Lab mentors are Anthea Devotta, who has more than 10 years of work experience in the film industry, and now works at the DFI’s Training and Development team, and Amna al-Binali, who has been with the DFI’s development team since 2013.
The Architects Hub Qatar, a business networking hub that offers an online directory for local architecture firms in the country and organises events for face-to-face networking, will hold an online talk – focusing on *3D construction techniques – with HAL Robotics co-founder and vice-president of human-machine interactions Sebastian Andraos on August 11.
Meanwhile, the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) wants to engage residents in the process of redesigning and reimagining its galleries, by getting their feedback via administered interviews and focus group discussions.
In an e-mail to Culture Pass members yesterday, the MIA said that “dates and times would be agreed upon in advance, and all comments are confidential, but this is a great opportunity to get involved and make a difference”.
The QM is also urging Culture Pass members to upgrade their tiers to Culture Pass Plus or Family memberships in order to visit and take part in family tours and exhibitions, including the *Seagrass Tales, Dugong Trails at the National Museum of Qatar and the *Grey Times at the Doha Fire Station.
M7, a creative startups hub dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurship, established by Qatar Museums for the nation’s growing fashion and design industry, continues to hold its weekly series focusing on design, fashion, and innovation.
“Every week, we highlight a local creative, so you can learn more about what drives their work, what inspires their creations, and how they use creativity to express their voice and ideas,” M7 said.
