Course contents

SUNDAY, MARCH 8

Lecture: What Is With This Pitching Thing?

10 am – 11:30 am | Cervantes Institute, Cinema Hall

Every year, experienced documentary mentor Mikael Opstrup watches 700–800 pitching trailers and hundreds of presentations. At the same time, he is probably one of the very few film professionals who still sees pitching as an important constructive part of the filmmaking process and something that should be preserved. In this lecture, he shares his view of pitching trailers as well as what purpose presenting a not-yet-existing film might have.

Lecture: Ringing the Bell – How to Begin Film

5:30 pm – 7 pm | Cervantes Institute, Cinema Hall

The first few minutes of a film are the most important. The topic is set in the exposition and the aesthetic means which transports the topic are presented. The viewer needs rules of the game to understand a narrative. Using film examples, Niki Mossböck will show the beginnings of different documentary films she edited and will discuss why they are edited in this way and what a good beginning should do.

MONDAY, MARCH 9

9 am – 10 am | Cervantes Institute, Cinema Hall

TUESDAY, MARCH 10

Lecture: Distributing Diversity

9:30 am – 11 am | Cervantes Institute, Cinema Hall

“Speaking about Documentary Distribution, it’s assumed to be about making non-fiction travel, and sell. We call international distribution companies Sales Agents, while most of us are as much driven by passion for content as the filmmakers themselves. I want to talk about how we make sure the best stories get out there, get seen, and earn money for their creators, as well.” Esther van Messel, First Hand Films

Case Study: How to Co-produce Between Western and Eastern Europe: The Documentary Trees Floating

2 pm – 3:30 pm | Cervantes Institute, Gallery

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11

Panel Discussion: Filmmaking Against Dictatorships: How to Shoot and Keep Your Freedom

5 pm – 6:30 pm | Cervantes Institute, Cinema Hall

In the era of alt-truth, fake news and troll farms, the critical filmmaking is more than necessary to advocate for the voice of the powerless, promote freedom of speech, address any injustice coming from the official structures and fight for the truth. It is more alarming that even Europe is becoming affected by the inconspicuous powers of certain governments trying to manipulate, or silence critical voices. What are the real-life conditions of filmmaking under such pressure? How to make your films even against the “creative” censorship methods and state oppression? And who could be your partner in bringing your stories to broader audience? The moderated panel discussion will bring guests and filmmakers to share their experience and talk about the obstacles the critical filmmaking is facing now.
