Eyewitness Studio

The Eyewitness Studio is a groundbreaking project enabling ordinary citizens from divided, often conflict-affected communities in the Caucasus region, to share their personal views and experiences through the medium of film.

Throughout four years of work, the Studio involved hundreds of people of different professions, ages and cultural backgrounds living in different parts of the Caucasus. Each of them has become a recipient of hands-on training in film-making and use of new media tools.

Over 400 short documentaries produced by the Eyewitness Studio have presented ordinary citizens with an opportunity to say their say about issues on their minds and have served as an incentive for both authors and viewers to play a more meaningful role in the places they live
