Notably the working dictum of the great German art director Hermann Warm was: Films must be drawings brought to life! Warm helped to create such cinema classics as The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, The Passion of Joan of Arc and The Student of Prague. In each of these films he approached the graphic potentiality of cinema from its most visually innovative and expressive levels. This module will investigate the role that drawing offers with regards to both making and experiencing film. This will mean exploring what Franco Purini meant when he explained drawings produce vision. The module will be divided into two distinct but interconnected areas of activity or research. Firstly, it will involve more theoretical or discursive concerns based on viewing and discussing a selection of historical and contempoary films. This will include works by different filmmakers and artists such as Alexander Medvedkin, Robert Breer, Zbig Rybczynski, Chantal Ackerman, Kurt Kren, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Dore O and many others. Secondly it will involve investigating and workshoping the notion or process of drawing itself as a way of approaching and rethinking film. Each module participant will be encouraged to develop their own exploratory approach to drawing film generated from within the cinematic experience and process. It will involve a variety of hands-on and practical activities driven by the fundamental objective of reinventing and reinvigorating the inter-relationship between drawing and film. The city of Prague will provide an inspirational springboard or threshold from which these film-drawing experiments are based and enacted. The final outcome of the module will be a group produced short film based on the research findings of each module participant.
