Domestic violence and the fight against it – film workshop
18– 26 October 2010, Louis Hartlooper Complex Utrecht
The workshop will focus on presentation, analysis, debate and improvisations of scenes of domestic violence given in cinema in the context of the respective home culture, mentality and social behaviour. It will include practical work in mixed groups at finding alternative ways of interpreting certain violent, disturbing and painful scenes, from the point of view of the victim and the perpetrator.
Young actors will be re-enacting certain scenes based on the prior collective conclusions and analyses. Another mixed group of film students of directing, camera, production and/or editing will cover certain issues from their professional and artistic point of view.
Besides the direct involvement of professionals from the film world such as Mirjana Karanovic, Sinolicka Trpkova and Willeke van Ammelrooy, the program will also provide a session with a professional Dutch psychologist-therapist who has experience working on the Balkans with people in need, often portrayed in the cinema from the SEE region.
By making small visual exercises on the given subject, all students will collaborate during the 7 days workshop, the results of which will be presented on the last day of the ENFF 2010 in Utrecht. The presentation of the results from the workshop is scheduled in several locations in The Netherlands, Germany, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Serbia.
