A Week-long Filmmaking experience at the Film Camp 2020
Filming places and landscapes
9 Aug 2020 - 14 Aug 2020
Otok InstituteNova Gorica
From 9 till 14 August 2020 we partnered for the first time with Kinoatelje from Italian Gorizia and the Silvan Furlan Foundation, and became part of the Silvan Furlan Film Camp in Nova Gorica.
The Film Camp is a traditional one-week event for children aged 8 to 18 from Western Slovenia and also other parts, as well as Slovenian minority in Italy, which get accommodation at the High School Student Dormitory and are based there for a full week of learning about film and filmmaking. In this context, we conducted a one-week film workshop for a group of three children with the Moving Cinema methodology, where we encouraged the ability to observe and create. Mentors of the workshop were film director and cinematographer Jan Mozetič and film expert Ana Cerar. In addition to the production of the Moving Cinema film the Film Camp, which this year focused on sound in film, was divided into groups of animation, feature, documentary films, and 360-degree films.
The Moving Cinema group learned about the camera, connection of film and painting, observation of environment, and researched the area of Nova Gorica. For their final film they selected the old train station in the city. Each of them had a mission to create a segment with their own vision, at the editing phase all three segments were put together into one short film named Trainspotting.
