Filming Music
Haizebegi
An immersive workshop at the heart of the Haizebegi Festival
Filming Music is a workshop organized as part of the Haizebegi Festival, in partnership with the CNRS and the Audiovisual BTS program at René Cassin High School (Bayonne-Biarritz).
Designed as a workshop for hands-on practice and reflection, this workshop offers a unique immersion at the intersection of:
- of documentary film,
- ofanthropology,
- andethnomusicology.
It is intended for students, as well as filmmakers and researcherswho wish to learn or improve their skills in visual anthropology, in an environment that is both challenging and open.
Learning by Doing
The internship is based on an active learning approach, structured around two complementary components:
→ Meetings and Discussions
With professionals in research, documentary filmmaking, and sound, exploring methodological, technical, and aesthetic issues through films and concrete examples.
→ Hands-on experience in the field
Participants work in groups on the concerts and performances at the Haizebegi Festival: filming, coordinating with crews, group screenings, and discussions about the raw footage.
Interns also have access to all the concerts, discussions, and events scheduled as part of the festival.
