OLTRECONFINE Laboratorio di cinema del reale

Typology: Formation for professionals
Professors: Giovanni Cioni
Dates: February / June 2015

Film Commission Vallée d’Aoste, in collaboration with the dir ector Giovanni Cioni, OLTRECONFINE
Actual Cinema Workshop

A workshop to give ideas and share projects about the borders; ideas that can be developed in the as experimental cinema briefings, or projects created during the workshops.

"A workshop whether to explore the idea of confinements through the writing and direction of a series of jobs made in collective or individually, realized as proposals and free declinations of the idea of border. A narrative point of departure, for this trip that we take, are the Canti Orfici di Dino Campana. More than a narrative spark, a poetic material, an inspiration map.

Often in my cinematographer job about real life, I get inspiration from narrative models - a an Arabican nights story, the Neapolitan legend of the captain, the black pirate of Salgari, the epic of Ulisse. They are footsteps, maps, to go over a conditioned look to the word "documentary" - that a implicates a document to report with objectivity, as if reality was a fact, unavoidable. As if while making a film you didn't participate in this reality, building it, almost inventing it. But it doesn’t mean that the reality is less truth.".
(G. Cioni)

Beginning from this and other suggestions (see attached material), to whoever may be interested in participating it is needed a motivation, an idea for a project or a project, eventually a job to show: filmed material, photos.
"Because a workshop is feeds by the proposals and the path of its participants."

The workshop will start in February and it will conclude in the month of June, foreseeing a first block of meetings dedicated to the discussion about the materials, the ideas and the introduced projects, with the purpose to delineate a common project or a series of different and complementary experiments around the same idea; besides, it will be the moment for a first phase of surveys.

Successively the lab will continue alternating working with the director (what it will also coordinate some phases of shooting and editing) and work with freelancers.
