Mode of study:

Consultation

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

Completion of Implementation Workshop 5

Course contents:

The aim of the course and its program are the constructive and positive fulfillment of the concept of the „Creator's Workshop“ in reviewing the tradition of the painters' and sculptors' atelier in distant history and a collective effort in defining artistic groups of various creative professions of the recent past and the present.

Imagine this as a voluntary society of intrigued, working, capable, strong morally shaped and mutually responsible creative individuals, artistically inclined, Like-willed and emotionally similarly directed. As a society, where creative stimulation freely arises and in the process of creation particular results are perfected in an atmosphere of working collaboration, pedagogically effective sharing of professional experience and knowledge in each phase in the conception of a project and as well in open discussions in which personal viewpoints, artistic manifestations and individual mark are refined and consolidated.

Note:

Helena Třeštíková:

There are two basic starting points in my concept of guiding the students in the Documentary film workshop:

1. The study period is for the students is a unique period of maturing, and creating their personal profile. A period from which they can draw their entire future professional life. Therefore it is my instructional aim to guide the workshop so that it becomes a real professional and humanly enriching encounter. A place where unfeigned sincerety, responsibility for oneself, one's work, one's talent, time and the time of others.

2. Documentary film is no only a good manner for formal experimentation or personal artistic expression but, particularly, the best possible means for noting authentic reality, real contemporaeity and its spirit. Hardly any other type of depiction has this ability to capture the visual world around us as well as the thought and trends of the time in which it arose. I wish, therefore, to lead students to the investigation of manners of how to deeply understand current events and the times in which we live, their markings, ideas and particulars and in through a documentary, to capture and develop it.

Karel Vachek:

The fundaments of our work are a thorough analysis of the presented subject matter (discussions on their possible societal and artistic effects and a systematic presentation - (how to proceed in their implementation). In the creation of the work we give priority to discussions on the presented material in the editing room in direct participation at the shooting. Individual consultations are possible outside of group instruction even though priority is given to a presentation to the entire workshop: More heads know more. Mainly, contemporary film language arises among students. Professors merely present the past. Or in other words: The most fundamental, how to be an artist, no one can teach us.
