If you’re interested in film and photography – Film Mixer Camp is an amazing volunteering opportunity for you! Join other young artists, analogue photographers and creative people from around the world and learn about using forgotten film techniques in an innovative way.
Participants will take part in developing a stop motion movie about France Štiglic, one of the most important Slovenian film directors – the only one whose movie was nominated for an Oscar. In the cultural district of Kranj city, which was France’s home town, volunteers will help to raise awareness about films and try to represent long forgotten techniques in a new, inventive way.
