Course contents

Rob Rombout Masterclass: SOUND BEFORE IMAGE

Any artist, so also a filmmaker is supposed to “have something to tell” Documentary starts from the scouting and perception of reality, but then come the question: What do I have to report or tell? The director is a reporter, a technician, a professional but on the other hand, he’s the author, the story- teller, the one who signs the work. The focus of this masterclass is the intention, the writing, the signature, and the voice of the director. At the start of the Masterclass I will introduce myself & my work, with short excerpts. The focus will go to sound and voice.

Robert Rombout (Amsterdam, 1953) has lived and worked in Brussels since 1975. Teacher at St. Lukas, Brussels film & art school (LUCA). He is co-founder and executive of the Doc-Nomads international Master (www.docnomads.eu). He has been an independent documentary-maker for over 35 years. All films were shown on television and festivals. He was a guest-teacher at the University of Paris8 & Strasbourg. He is a regular teacher at SKDA Hanoï, AUT & ALBA Beirut and ESTC in Lisbon. He gives workshops in Brazil, China, Russia & France.

His last film is “On the track of Robert Van Gulik” (87 min, 2016)
