Collaborative Filmmaking (CF) is a relatively new, participatory, visual research method in which participants are trained in digital filmmaking to collect and analyze their own data in the form of creative short films and to disseminate their findings through film screenings and discussions. In this comment article, we present qualitative insights that delve into the perspectives of a group of CF participants as they reflect upon their experiences using CF and the impact that the method had on them as project participants. Participants were young adult educators who used CF to explore and evaluate the process of building community support for a comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) program in rural Madagascar. After the original project was completed, they participated in a focus group discussion with the researchers who created the method and answered questions about the process and impact of the method. The participants discussed the transformative power that CF has to elicit emotions and self-reflection among both filmmakers and audiences, and to generate visual evidence that can be used for education and advocacy about complex topics such as CSE.
合作式电影制作（CF）是一种相对较新的、参与性的视觉研究方法，参与者接受数字电影制作培训，以创意短片的形式收集和分析自己的数据，并通过电影放映和讨论来传播他们的研究结果。在这篇评论文章中，我们呈现了定性见解，深入探讨了一群CF参与者的观点，他们反思了使用CF的经历以及该方法对他们作为项目参与者所产生的影响。参与者是年轻的成人教育工作者，他们利用CF来探索和评估在马达加斯加农村地区为全面性教育（CSE）项目建立社区支持的过程。在原始项目完成后，他们与创建该方法的研究人员参加了焦点小组讨论，并回答了有关该方法的过程和影响的问题。参与者讨论了CF在电影制作人和观众中引发情感和自我反思的变革力量，以及生成可用于教育和宣传诸如CSE等复杂主题的视觉证据的能力。
