Bahraini producer and director Mahmood Al-Shaikh is presenting a masterclass at Hawa Al Manama festival, which will be followed by a film screening.
Manama Light is an eight-day workshop, which runs until January 13, and will focus on various aspects of the craft, including script writing, production, direction and lighting, among others.
A total of 16 Bahraini enthusiasts are attending the sessions, which will culminate with a film screening at the festival. The participants have been divided into two teams and are working together to create two short films guided by learnings from the workshop.
The second edition of Hawa Al Manama, which runs until January 15, is being staged by Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA) at Manama Suq and features a wide range of attractions, from cultural and heritage activities to historical exhibitions and experiences.
The masterclass is supported by Saynario – an online space that seeks to showcase the voices of Arab cinema lovers and pop culture enthusiasts.
“The Manama Light workshop is an intensive journey that takes participants from the initial concept to the final screen, focusing on practical aspects such as directing, production, and professional cinematic lighting,” Mahmood told GulfWeekly.
