Documentary filmmaking workshop in Anykščiai Jonas Biliūnas gymnasium

Portraits of trees

20 Nov 2018 - 11 Dec 2018

Meno Avilys

Anykščiai

The filmmaking workshop was devoted to a diary of trees. Inspired by the excerpts from the films by the professional filmmakers and the local trees the students made their own portraits of trees.

During the workshop students explored the topic of a diary of trees. They watched and discussed excerpts from the films: The Sky Turns / El cielo gira, by Mercedes Álvarez, 2004, Autumn Snow / Rudens sniegas, by Valdas Navasaitis, 1992, The Ancient Woods / Sengirė, by Mindaugas Survila, 2018, Alone / Viena, by Audrius Stonys, 2001. In parallel, the students scouted locations, searched for ‘the characters’ for their films, made photographs and created storylines. The result of the workshop is the short films around the topic of a life of a tree and a human being.   The workshop was led by the documentary filmmaker Aistė Žegulytė and the film educator, teacher Renata Miškinienė.
