1. Research Summary & Background
This initiative focuses on practical media education, curriculum development, and fostering young storytelling talent in the film and audiovisual sectors in Laos. As both a university lecturer and an active filmmaker (FLY 2025 Alumnus), the project lead seeks to address the gap between theoretical classroom learning and professional film industry standards.
2. Key Research & Activity Goals
- Practical Curriculum Development: Design hands-on filmmaking modules tailored to Lao university students.
- Ecosystem Integration: Utilize platforms like TinyClass to share educational media content and support young creators.
- Regional Networking: Build direct connections between Lao student creators and ASEAN-ROK regional film hubs (such as Busan Film Commission / BIFF / ACFM).
