Lobitos Cinema Project

2014 Participatory Film & Photography Workshops

Goal: Experience theoretical and practical aspects of creating a participatory documentary that resulted in launching the Lobitos Cinema Project.

May Audiovisual Session

Past Session: May 3-17th

In early 2010 a global team of volunteers rallied support and produced a short film CAPTURE: A WAVES Documentary. It was accepted to numerous Film Festivals and won Best Film at the Lanzarote Ocean Film Festival in the Canaries. This project, unknown at the time, was the beginning of WAVES Creative & Digital Arts activities in Lobitos, which has lead to the photography career of Henry Espinoza Panta and audiovisual producing career of Luchito Tinco.

Since then, a crew of amazing people (film makers, artists, photographers – including team members from CAPTURE) have connected and have visited Lobitos to further the Creative Arts and Audiovisual activities there.

Namely, Nicolas Landa, from DocuPeru and Recreo, shares his over 10 years experience making documentaries in Peru. Nicolas, a friend and mentor to Henry and Luchito, has driven the launch of a unique project that participatively builds on past success… the Lobitos Cinema Project.

If you’re interested in joining a future session to create something new, let us know, we have limited spots.
