Workshop Description :

The workshop unfolds in the enchanting world of cinema, participating in interactive cinematic games, discovering cinematic codes.

Suspicious or unsuspecting bystander? In what ways does the filmmaker create impressions and emotions in the viewer, bring memories and experiences? What cinematic tricks (codes) does it use? What is the role of music, twists, shots, camera position? How do the film’s psychological viewing mechanisms, guesswork, multi-sensory and empathy? Why, watching a movie, do we live the events as if we were there on the screen? Does the director want us to agree with his ideology?

We watch film clips, express impressions, opinions, experiences, retrieve memory baggage, recognize the viewing mechanisms of a film, approach cinematic codes (music, twists, heroes, plot, etc.), the tools and tricks used by the creator of a motion picture to invade the screen and identify with the protagonists and events. Then, in a process of personal response, we create narratives.

Participation in the workshop does not require special knowledge about film codes, nor creative writing skills. Love for cinema and a playful mood are enough. Within the framework of the workshop, the following 3 actions will be developed:

• Action 1: From the unsuspecting to the suspicious viewer
• Action 2: Film games-Approaching a film
• Action 3: Cinema and Creative Writing

Certificates of participation will also be given for those who wish and certifications from the ACTA organization of the University of Thessaloniki
