Participants took their stories off the page and into production. From shooting and capturing scenes to designing props and planning their editing lineups, they began shaping the visual and emotional rhythm of their projects.

The week was filled with collaboration, experimentation, and the excitement of seeing ideas transform into moving images, each frame inspired by the imaginative spirit of Sultanaโ€™s Dream.

Through 1:1 mentoring sessions and group discussions, participants refined their film concepts, clarifying the story content and narrative flow, identifying the most fitting visual elements and scenes, determining the balance between fiction and non-fiction, and defining the stylistic approach of their films, whether as a still-image film, film-letter, diary film, found-footage, desktop cinema, or a hybrid form.

They also explored sound as a narrative tool: how audio constructs real and imagined spaces, how it can transport or displace the listener, and how dialogue, music or score, ambient sound, and effects shape a viewerโ€™s emotional experience. The week blended lectures, AV demonstrations, hands-on sound design exercises on individual projects, and collaborative group critiques.

The fifth iteration of the Liberation Doc Community was convened on 17 October 2025, concomitantly with a filmmaking workshop focusing on the stylistic elements, perspectives, and aspirations inherent in Sultana's Dream. During this session, multidisciplinary artist Zihan Karim provided insights into the artistic research methodologies he employed, which included the screening of his seminal work, STAB IN THE DARK, a multi-channel digital video installation. This work involves a process of metaphorically viewing events from different perspectives through various dialogues, performance videos, drawings, sounds, and installations.
