Sustaining Creativity: Burnout Prevention
Oct 16, 2024, 10.00 AM @ Festival Center D'24
Event language: English
This workshop explores strategies of burnout prevention and self and collective care for filmmakers and storytellers who are navigating the pressures of the creative industry and its precarity.
We'll provide tools for recognising and preventing burnout, while fostering a space to reflect on the importance of rest as political resistance, and to address the emotional toll of working in documentary filmmaking, especially when dealing with socially complex and emotionally demanding issues.
Participants will engage in discussions on the precarity of the creative industry, sharing strategies for managing its challenges. Rooted in feminist and intersectional perspectives, this session is designed to help participants care for themselves and each other, ensuring sustainability in their creative practice and raising awareness about the existent power dynamics .
