| 释义 |
Ateliers Varan is an association of filmmakers based in Paris, France, whose primary work is running non-academic hands-on courses in documentary filmmaking both in France and across the world. Founded in 1981 with the spirit and support of Jean Rouch, it has trained generations of documentary filmmakers in places ranging from Vietnam to Kenya, Serbia, Georgia and Afghanistan. Ateliers Varan acts as a consultant to UNESCO and sets up workshops abroad in collaboration with the Communication Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France. It is a member of CILECT. The name Ateliers Varan refers to the varanus, the carnivorous lizard found only in Africa and Asia. HistoryIn 1978, the newly independent Mozambican Republic asked famous French directors to make films about the changes occurring there. Among those was Jean Rouch, who instead offered to train the country’s future filmmakers, enabling them to film reality from the inside. Together with Jacques d’Arthuys, France’s Cultural Attaché to Mozambique, he set up a documentary filmmaking workshop which would teach filmmaking through practice and collaboration. Following that experience, the filmmakers who helped run this workshop set up an association in Paris in 1981. Their mission was to run similar courses in France and continue their activities throughout the developing world, sharing and enriching experiences. Since its inception, Ateliers Varan have trained more than 800 filmmakers and produced more than 800 documentary films. List of Varan Workshops Abroad{{update-section|date=December 2015}}
