由上海师范大学谢晋影视艺术学院与英国约翰摩尔大学共同举办的2018中英微电影工作坊将于2018年5月28日—6月10日期间开展。参加此次工作坊的有英国约翰摩尔大学影视学院9名英国学生和16名谢晋学院广编、动画专业学生，整个工作坊的课程由谢晋学院广编专业副教授许迪声与动画专业副主任、副教授赵贵胜进行全英文授课与指导。课程内容包括微电影的选题、拍摄、采访、后期制作等。
微电影工作坊期间，还将举办“光影上海”--72小时极限创作大赛，让不同文化背景的学生以合作的形式共同参与72小时“光影上海”的微电影创作，涵盖策划、剧本、拍摄、表演以及后期剪辑等一系列环节，不仅能拓宽学生们的视野，同时也能实现跨文化的交流与合作。
微电影是近年来在全球范围内受到广泛欢迎的影视作品类型，它能在有限的时间内，通过短小精悍的故事，通过富有哲理的台词，通过具有设计感的镜头和场面调度，既展现其中深刻的思想内涵和人文精神，同时也能表达创作者对于人生、文化、世界等的思考。微电影时长短，却可以有广阔的选题；制作周期短，却可以考验创作者的基本拍摄能力；故事简洁而不简化；镜头数有限，涵盖的内容却是无限的。对于中英两国年轻的电影人而言，是一种更易于实现的作品类型。
中英微电影工作坊的开展让两国学生跨越了语言障碍、跨越了7小时的时差、跨越了文化的鸿沟，实现了跨专业联合组队，真正达到了近距离实质性的交流。
值得一提的是，2018年9月30日—10月13日，此次工作坊的16名中国学生还将远赴英国，与约翰摩尔大学的学生举办“光影利物浦”—中英学生微电影大赛。
