Do CineWorlding.

CineWorlding is a practice that combines cinema, research, and worlding. We believe CineWorlding has the power to both reveal and heal the worlds we live in. A collaborative practice, CineWorlding demonstrates the need for research to be created with people and not about people.

CineWorlding empowers new modes of thinking about living in the world that is collaborative, creative, experimental and multi-modal.

CineWorlding promotes cinematic research-creation as a practice of learning with the world and seeks to expand knowledge of the contribution that this method can make to teaching and learning.

CineWorlding is an emerging practice and develops through projects and workshops - we provide free online tutorials, and offer masterclasses. Academic resources can also be found in our book shop.

If you are interested in hosting a workshop or masterclass please reach out on our contact page.
