Pitching

Today in the ‘Pitching Workshop’ new and accomplished filmmakers learned how to make their best pitch in front of an established group of experienced pitchers, who then provided feedback and guidance based on the presentation. Participants discovered how to implement positive changes to enhance their pitch before presenting their ‘new’ version to the rest of the group for discussion.

Direct Your Dad

During family day, we set up a mini set and gave kids an opportunity to dress their parents up in costumes. The kids then wrote a quick one minute story and got behind the camera to shoot and direct their fathers. Once they finished the scenes, they went to a DFI editor to cut their film together, add a music track and burn them a dvd within 5 minutes.

The Doha Tribeca Film Festival is pleased to partner with the Giffoni Experience for an international exchange of kid’s ideas and film experiences. Sixty pre-selected local Doha children joined with six international guests to become “jurors” of a selected set of films. The jurors watched films, learned about filmmaking, attended panels and had the opportunity to engage in an exchange of opinions and ideas following each film session.

The wonderful line up kicked off with walking the Opening Night’s red carpet, attending a digital effects workshop, and participating in a comedy panel. The following videos chronicle the next two days of the experience.

A Preview of Family Day

It is Friday, October 29, 2010, which means DTFF is offering opportunities for children and families to play and learn as they engage in the “adventure” of discovering the wonders of Katara, the new cultural village of Doha.

Throughout the day there will be entertainment and special performances on multiple Festival Stages, games, workshops, arts and crafts and much more! A “Passport to Fun” will guide everyone through the varied experiences. Kids will receive a stamp in their “passport” after visiting The Zoetrope Village, Qatari Crafts, DFI Filmmaking workshops, The Garden of Katara, Kite Making workshop, and The Arts & Crafts for Kids pavilion. Collect all six stamps and win a special prize!
