The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) and the Northeast Arkansas Educational Cooperative (NEAEC) are pleased to announce a Professional Development Weekend entitled “Filmmaker Workshops” on May 14-16, 2009, in Hot Springs. The workshops are open to all Arkansas public school teachers and aspiring high school filmmakers. However, the workshops are limited to the first 100 participants, including teachers and students.
Students are invited to submit film and video projects for exhibition. Each student may submit only one project, which must be accompanied by a registration form and synopsis about the film or video. Teachers may also submit a work on behalf of a class, as long as the class had prime artistic responsibility for the work. Specific information and guidelines concerning registration and project submission are included with the “Filmmaker Workshops” brochure and registration form.
Registration forms and projects must be submitted no later than Monday, April 13, 2009, to the following address:
