We have always believed that the future of education is project based learning; a way of learning where fun, creative and engaging ways can be employed to allow the children to learn new skills and tools that are deemed necessary for the world today.
IEI Films is a programme designed to equip the young of today with the 21st century skills, in the hope that these skills can be put to use to preserve the age old mountain wisdom of the remote valleys of Pakistan, to enable the young to develop and use their voice for social change, to advocate for the rights of young girls to help advance gender equality and to become the leaders and change makers of tomorrow.
Simple and basic, our filmmaking workshops usually lasts for over 4 days where children get the oppurtunity to learn the process and basics of filmmaking. Depending on the age group and the time availability, the topics usually cover the important people involved in the process of filmmaking, the concept of storyboarding, basic camera angles and shots, interview taking skills and introduction to post production. The students come up with different ideas that they want to work on and the mentors, considering various factors like time availability and feasibility decide what can be converted into a final product of film.
Nestled deep in the mountains of north Pakistan, Chipurson Valley is a remote valley whose residents still live an agrarian lifestyle. We asked the children, "How do you want the people around the world to see your valley?" This documentary style film is an answer to that question.
