- MY FIRST FILM REVIEW
Those who like watching film also like to comment them. Was it a good film or not? Why? When you write about a film as a work of art, when you comment it providing reasons for your opinion and when you recommend it as worth seeing (or not), that’s how film reviews come to life. The reviews regularly lead to interesting conversations which help understand the art of filmmaking and the process of filmmaking.
It is actually quite easy to learn how to write or verbalize a film review which will be a work of art itself. What is more, the process of learning can be very interesting. In the workshop we will learn how to watch a film, pay attention to what is called the language of film and finally shape a substantiated commentary that may be as attractive as the film itself. Enjoy the film, spend some quality time with your peers and learn how to write your first film review.

- Workshop: ILLUSTRATION and FILM POSTER
The idea is that the workshop participants engage in drawings based on a given topic and continue with illustrating their own story. The intention is to avoid literal interpretations and focus on the atmosphere. This rather loose approach turned out successful, since some participants rather move in the direction of comics, while others prefer to stick to just one illustration or poster. We can start with illustrating stories, films, videos or their own photos, whatever they find inspiring.
