This season's topic is the audio-visual essay.
October 01-05, 2018
This seminar is yet another experiment, highly dependent on your
creative input, technical know-how (how to cut film-clips), and your
love of film!! If ALL of these are YOUR THING, then WELCOME!!
Usually, film analysis is done in a different medium – writing. Is
there any alternative? Can we reflect on film thru this very medium
itself? It is being done – in the form of the audiovisual essay [see
the websites of Frames or Audiovisualcy], which in a way combines
formal film analysis with the concept and praxis of the mash-up. Thus
– let's get practical!!
This seminar should also serve as a kind of ‘ignition’ to spark off
networking between Czech and German students.
