This first week was really interesting and I could (I consider myself as an absolute beginner in filmmaking) have a slight overview of what is involved in this magic process of creating films and dealing with images, shots, music, stories and many other elements. Thank you so much!

I have chosen the film "Philomena" by dame Judy Dench and Steve Coogan, directed by Stephen Frears.
Philomena is based on a powerful true story and I realized that I love true... -

Recently I've seen Imitation... -

Hi Renata!
I had a quite different approach of my city, but I loved yours!
You know what, even considering that I was there, in the 70s, I had forgotten that time. Hard!
Thanks for reminding me of it! -

I live in São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil. As a big city, we face all the problems of a big city: traffic problems, public transportation, pollution, crowded streets, avenues and squares.

Of course, that is a consequence of the lack of urban planning and disorganised occupation of the urban areas. But we are living the... -

My experience of writing in English are limited to some emails exchanged between the coordinator and the teachers from the school I work in.
I would like to be able to write stories, the ones I like so much about people's lives.
I have just taken a Celta certificate and my tutor suggested me to take a writing course to feel more confident about my...
