These four films are the graduation projects of the Basic Filmmaking Workshop the Amman Filmmakers Cooperative . This is the first filmmaking workshop in this remote Jordanian village of Ghour Mazraa by the Dead Sea. The emphasis is on visual story telling hence the absence of dialog. The sponsors of the workshop are the Spanish Agency for Cultural Cooperation and the Zikra Initiative. Enjoy these "first" films.
