Tutor wanted

Dili Film Works is a new NGO based in Dili East Timor. The focus of the NGO is to teach East Timorese how to become filmmakers. We have received a small amount of funding from the Hubert Bals Fund (Rotterdam Film Festival) to run a drama workshop and from the Jan Vrijman Fund (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam) to run a doco course.

We are looking for a tutor to help run the film production courses in Dili. The Tutor will be overseen by a senior lecturer, Luigi Acquisto. It is a volunteer's wage ($500 US a month) plus accommodation and most meals. The job is for 2 - 4 months starting at the end of October. The tutor must speak English but can be from any country.

The courses are preparing a group of talented young East Timorese filmmakers to produce the country’s first feature film in 2011. The film will be co-produced by FairTrade Films Australia and Dili Film Works. Acclaimed producer John Maynard (Romulus My Father, Balibo) will be co-producing the film as well as assisting with the workshops.

Luigi is presently based in Melbourne so could meet up with any interested and suitable candidates. My email details are listed.
