The Art of Becoming
When the world begins again.
LATE MAY – EARLY JUNE · SEVEN DAYS
There is a particular hour in the year when spring begins to loosen its hold on the earth. The mornings grow warmer, the light lingers a little longer, and somewhere between the last flowers and the first summer winds, the world begins to change.
We set sail in that moment.
For seven days, the coastline becomes your classroom, the sea your companion and the passing landscape a collection of stories waiting to be told.
Through a hands-on introduction to filmmaking, you will learn to notice what others might pass by: the movement of light across a hillside, the sound of a village waking, a conversation with a stranger, the extraordinary beauty of an ordinary afternoon.
You will gather these fragments, give them a story and turn them into a short film of your own. From the first idea to the final frame, you will experience the joy of making something that did not exist before you arrived.
Along the way, there will be paths to wander, community lives to encounter, traditions to discover and quiet moments in which nothing needs to be made or accomplished.
Perhaps, by the end, you will have learnt something about filmmaking. Perhaps you will have learnt something about seeing.
Either way, you will leave with a little piece of this voyage that belongs entirely to you.
Your seven-day creative journey
The first glimpse: Arrive, meet your fellow travellers and find the stories hidden in your surroundings.
Learning to look: Discover the language of images, light, composition and visual storytelling.
The gathering of stories: Explore the landscape, meet local people and begin filming.
Finding the narrative: Develop your ideas, experiment with sound and assemble your footage.
The making: Edit, refine and bring your short film to life.
The sharing: Screen your creations and celebrate the different worlds everyone has discovered.
The departure: Take your film, your memories and perhaps a slightly different pair of eyes home.
The Art of Seeing
There are worlds beneath the blue.
MID – LATE JUNE · SEVEN DAYS
The summer sea keeps a thousand little secrets.
Beneath its shimmering surface, sunlight breaks into fragments, seagrass moves with the current, and small lives carry on their ancient business, quite unaware of the world above.
We invite you to come a little closer.
This time, our voyage takes us into the underwater world, where curiosity becomes a form of exploration and observation becomes an art.
Armed with special underwater pencils and canvases, you will discover the unusual pleasure of drawing beneath the surface. A passing fish, the architecture of a reef, the delicate movement of marine plants: each encounter offers a new subject, each glance an invitation to create.
You need not be an artist. You need only bring your curiosity and a willingness to look twice.
Above the water, the adventure continues. We sail along sunlit coastlines, discover the character of local communities, encounter their traditions and explore the natural landscapes that make each place its own.
There will be time to swim, wander, exchange stories and simply let the days unfold.
Perhaps you will discover that the sea is far more colourful than you imagined. Perhaps you will find that the most wonderful things are those you had never thought to look for.
Your seven-day creative journey
