Lunenburg Doc Fest is looking for people 65+ or folks that identify as a senior to participate in a new filmmaking program called SAGED.

SAGED (Senior Artistic Garden Experimental Documentaries) is a free introductory

experimental documentary filmmaking program for senior garden enthusiasts, living in the

Lunenburg Area or along the South Shore.

Selected participants will receive training, resources, and one-on-one mentorship to create a

short minute 16mm film focusing on an aspect of their garden, community plot, or favourite

outdoor plant. You do not need to have a garden to apply, just a love of greenery!

The program will teach participants new skills like; how to film plants, how to use a Bolex

camera, cinematography, sound recording, sound design, and digital editing.

Completed films will be shown during the 13th Lunenburg Doc Fest (Sept 23-27).

Participants in the program will also have the opportunity to participate in a larger scale

community camera-less filmmaking Phytogram project over the summer using plants to create

images on emulsion!

Participants for SAGED must be available to attend all four workshop sessions in Lunenburg:

• Session 1: Monday, May 4th, 10:00am – 12:00pm

• Session 2: Monday, June 1st, 10:00am – 12:00pm
