CONCEPT:
We’ll be creating a collaborative web series with 7 episodes (a 10 minutes) during the workshop.
The idea is to play around with the concept of “Soap will never be the same” – mixing conventions of daily soap operas with different film genres.
The project is about collective filmmaking.
Method: testing drama pedagogy tools in filmmaking. Inspite of a highly fictional concept, the aim is to deal with actual life conflicts in the process. Applicants are encouraged to include themes of immigration, euro-crisis and youth employment to their work proposals.
SCHEDULE:
Deadline for applications: 25 January 2013.
Selections ready: end of January 2013.
Pre-production online: 15 Jan -17 Feb 2013
