WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Techniques for directing non-actors: Singular Drama Throughout the two-day practical workshop, participants will learn and experience the technique that Scandar uses during the preparations of his actors and non actors as well as during the shooting. Participants will get hands-on insight into the process of creating drama in a film using the human capacity to respond emotionally to fictional situations. The Singular Drama method is applicable on professional actors as well as non-actors. Filmmakers often use the element of surprise to direct actors for certain scenes to get authentic emotional responses. The directors of AJAMI based their film entirely on this principle. Unlike other forays into improvisation, AJAMI had a very precise screenplay and a well-constructed plot that demanded specific emotional responses from its actors. The actors ended up acting out a story, without being aware that they were being directed according to a pre-written script. The film is a work of fiction which shows “real” people acting in situations that are orchestrated by the directors, but very “real” to the performers, resulting in the actors projecting emotions on camera that they actually experienced at the time. This was achieved over specialized workshops, in which the actors were brought to each character’s emotional and psychological state as written in the script. Workshop learning objectives: 1. Participants will learn techniques to liberate their non-actors from the fear of the camera. 2. Participants will learn how to prepare their actors/non-actors for filming. 3. Participants will learn and experiment with improvisation techniques. 4. Participants will experience the method as actors in order to get a better understanding of the involved processes. 5. Participants will get insights on pre-production, production and shooting techniques when applying the method. 6. Participants will learn how to direct actors and non-actors using the Singular Drama method. Participants are encouraged to bring scenes they would like to direct. ABOUT SCANDAR COPTI Scandar Copti is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker and an acclaimed visual artist. His first full-length feature film 'Ajami' won the Camera d'Or Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the 82nd Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Film category.

We shall explore new ways of thinking about narrative and character using theatre games, automatic writing, the Tarot and other methods. * Tony will talk through in detail his experience of working on 4 different kinds of film: 1.The film, IN THIS WORLD, and KINGSLAND which draw from, and are guided by first hand accounts. 2. Adaptation: THE RED RIDING QUARTET, THE CITY AND THE CITY and FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Tony's specific experience of adaptation. 3. Original material: QUEEN OF HEARTS, the TV series, SOUTHCLIFFE. 4. The art film. Writing and making film on no budget. Stirring the cauldron. * Tony will discuss the history the making and the release of these films and television programmes, with clips to illustrate. He will discuss the creative act, working relationships and the business. The weekend will be - in part - a conversation where we exchange experiences and thoughts on screenwriting and filmmaking. The floor will be open at all times for participation, but there will also be sections where the participants will be very actively involved using their own material.

MIchal Luka experience speaks for itself and guarantees the high standards our participants have come to expect from FEST FILM LAB. COURSE DESCRIPTION Nowadays, it is rare for a film to not use any kind of VFX, which can range from slight background changes to entire VFX shots. But when should a filmmaker start thinking about VFX? VFX, if used right, can be an important tool for the betterment of the narrative. When filmmakers think of VFX only after filming, it will often end up as a botched attempt, since VFX elements weren’t thought out, leaving the VFX team with the job of coming up with solutions and working around the mistakes made during filming. Storyboarding is a great way to put the filmmaker, and the VFX team, on the same page, allowing for a better understanding of the wanted final product, offering clear and concrete imagery of the needed VFX elements. Cinematographers must increasingly be prepared to work with VFX and similar digital environments such as Virtual Production. Increasingly these tools will become more standard in independent, small film production, therefore it is imperative for, not only producers and directors, but also cinematographers to better grasp the specifications of this. In this workshops, Michal Luka will show how to work with these tools, and how to better achieves your results The course will also cover the following topic list: ESSENCE OF THE CRAFT Auteur versus Industry – the realities of the business. DIY - low budget approaches Understanding your abilities Overview and “Case Study” clips of my work Documentary and feature film approach PREPPING Script break down Aesthetic overview – the look and the story - Stylistic Approach Crewing up Location hunting Rehearsing before the shoot Storyboard How to work with: Art department Costume Camera Planning for Digital VFX Green screen / blue screen environment SHOOTING Camera angle and framing, Different aspect ratios Static vs movement camera’s personality LIGHT light meters Lighting Setup - Mood natural light location lighting studio lighting PROFILE OF PARTICIPANT The workshop designed for Cinematographers, Camera Operators, Directors, DIT, VFX artists, CGI Artists, Film Students, or anyone serious about a career in the Film Business on the area of cinematography.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

CHOICES Visualising the narrative ‘We’re building something here… We’re building it from scratch. All the pieces matter.’ Detective Lester Freamon, THE WIRE Every project is unique. But each involves a seemingly endless series of choices. Perhaps the most critical—and sometimes the most difficult—decision, is exactly how to approach its design. Seldom found easily or quickly, the key—the way into the design of a film—is essential. That essential key can inform and shape every subsequent choice throughout the art direction process. The workshop will explore approaches to identifying and working with the essential ideas, emotions, concepts, and imagery that will drive the design. Topics for discussion will include: Finding visual arcs within the story Identifying thematic elements Emotional tones Research Each individual’s distinct path in the business And very importantly, collaboration. Filmmaking is at its core an intimate and collaborative experience. We’ll look at working with others in the team—how open exchange with others enriches one’s work. With the director and DP, the Production Designer shares visual authorship of the work. Beyond that, though—in addition to directing and supervising set dec, props, construction, and paint, the PD and their art director(s) confer and make decisions with many other departments: wardrobe, SPFX, VFX, stunts, sound, etc., from prep through production. Working with the script for a short film, participants will begin this discovery process, researching and assembling (outside online course time) a brief presentation of how the visual arc of the film will reflect, support, and enrich the narrative. A group review/discussion will wrap up the session. PROFILE OF PARTICIPANT

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Techniques for directing non-actors: Singular Drama Throughout the two-day practical workshop, participants will learn and experience the technique that Scandar uses during the preparations of his actors and non actors as well as during the shooting. Participants will get hands-on insight into the process of creating drama in a film using the human capacity to respond emotionally to fictional situations. The Singular Drama method is applicable on professional actors as well as non-actors. Filmmakers often use the element of surprise to direct actors for certain scenes to get authentic emotional responses. The directors of AJAMI based their film entirely on this principle. Unlike other forays into improvisation, AJAMI had a very precise screenplay and a well-constructed plot that demanded specific emotional responses from its actors. The actors ended up acting out a story, without being aware that they were being directed according to a pre-written script. The film is a work of fiction which shows “real” people acting in situations that are orchestrated by the directors, but very “real” to the performers, resulting in the actors projecting emotions on camera that they actually experienced at the time. This was achieved over specialized workshops, in which the actors were brought to each character’s emotional and psychological state as written in the script. Workshop learning objectives: 1. Participants will learn techniques to liberate their non-actors from the fear of the camera. 2. Participants will learn how to prepare their actors/non-actors for filming. 3. Participants will learn and experiment with improvisation techniques. 4. Participants will experience the method as actors in order to get a better understanding of the involved processes. 5. Participants will get insights on pre-production, production and shooting techniques when applying the method. 6. Participants will learn how to direct actors and non-actors using the Singular Drama method. Participants are encouraged to bring scenes they would like to direct. ABOUT SCANDAR COPTI Scandar Copti is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker and an acclaimed visual artist. His first full-length feature film 'Ajami' won the Camera d'Or Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the 82nd Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Film category.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION CHOREOGRAPHY AND MOVEMENT IN FILM Work in dance and movement in film can be an ever-changing and diverse experience. This is what makes it exciting! But it’s also what makes it extremely challenging.

There are a host of details and elements that need to be considered at each stage of the process, in addition to the actual creation of the work. With discussions, Q and A’s, and practical ‘on your feet’ workshops, we’ll explore the myriad of fun and challenging scenarios that can present themselves on a variety of job assignments. Topics will include: Different approaches for different films, Genres, and directors; How does the dance/movement fit into the narrative of the film and/or scene; Relationships with other departments (Directors, Assistant Directors, Costume Departments, Sound Departments, Art and Props Departments); Practical sessions in creating and filming the work (historical dance, etc); Actors, dancers, and Muppets - working with differing levels of skills, abilities, and comfort zones.

This is a return to basics. Storytelling does not need to involve a laptop. Storytelling is a social activity - an audience creates the story. We shall explore new ways of thinking about narrative and character using theatre games, automatic writing, the Tarot and other methods. * Tony will talk through in detail his experience of working on 4 different kinds of film: 1.The film, IN THIS WORLD, and KINGSLAND which draw from, and are guided by first hand accounts. 2. Adaptation: THE RED RIDING QUARTET, THE CITY AND THE CITY and FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Tony's specific experience of adaptation. 3. Original material: QUEEN OF HEARTS, the TV series, SOUTHCLIFFE. 4. The art film. Writing and making film on no budget. Stirring the cauldron. * Tony will discuss the history the making and the release of these films and television programmes, with clips to illustrate. He will discuss the creative act, working relationships and the business. The weekend will be - in part - a conversation where we exchange experiences and thoughts on screenwriting and filmmaking. The floor will be open at all times for participation, but there will also be sections where the participants will be very actively involved using their own material. PROFILE OF PARTICIPANT The workshop is designed to Screenwriters, Script Editors, Directors, Producers, Film Students, and anyone with the interest in screenwriting.

The film premiered in 2004 at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Discovery Award. The film also won the 2005 BAFTA Award for “Best Single Drama”. “Vantage Point”, was his first major motion film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox. It was released in the USA, in 2008.

Dryburgh started on the job as a gaffer. As a result he found himself working and learning alongside many major cinematographers, in the process gaining a reputation as a skilled lighting specialist. After six years as a gaffer Dryburgh moved into the cinematographer's role shooting his first feature "The Leading Edge". Dryburgh was given the chance to shoot "An Angel at my Table" by Jane Campion, the film won accolades, and standing ovations.

Dryburgh followed "The Piano" with impressive work on "Once Were Warriors". After working on John Sayles' acclaimed border drama "Lone Star", Dryburgh reunited with Jane Campion, to shoot Henry James adaptation "The Portrait of a Lady". A long series of projects has followed, including hits "Analyze This", "Bridget Jones's Diary" "Kate and Leopold" and the pilot episode of "Sex and the City".

In 2007 he shot "The Painted Veil" Dryburgh's projects also include the pilot for acclaimed Prohibition-era drama "Boardwalk Empire". Martin Scorsese directed, with Dryburgh describing it as in many ways "a dream job". Variety later argued that Dryburgh's cinematography on Ben Stiller's remake of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" was "reason enough to see the film on the bigscreen". He followed it with Michael Mann cyber-crime tale "Blackhat". In 2012 he returned to New Zealand as director of photography on Japanese-set drama "Emperor", directed by Peter Webber.

ONE PLACE LEFT ABOUT JONATHAN MORRIS

Jonathan Morris first worked as a child actor, appearing in the original stage production of “Oliver” in London’s West End. Soon after, he sang with Judy Garland in her final film. Deciding against the uncertainties of life as an actor, he took a job in 1966 as a trainee second assistant film editor at Elstree Studios, then worked on television series, including “The Saint” and “The Champions”, and several feature-length films, including the cult classic “Witchfinder General”. In 1972, he took a position at ATV and in 1976 was promoted to Editor. There, he edited many documentaries and dramas, and worked with well-known directors including Adrian Cowell, Ken Loach, David Monro and Anthony Thomas, and went to the United States to cut an Emmy Award-winning episode “Vietnam – An American History”. In 1982, Morris formed a post-production company in London and edited numerous award-winning films. In 1992, he was nominated for a BAFTA for the documentary “Hellfighters of Kuwait”. Director Ken Loach's prolific output as a feature film-maker since the early 1990s owes a lot to the regular group of collaborators who have worked with him during this period. One of these is Jonathan Morris. Having worked with Loach in over 30 films, Morris brings to the table a sense of aesthetics that he has matured while working with the director and, generally being the first viewer of the films, the editor is well accustomed to the constrictions that social realism entails. Loach’s use of regional dialects and very closed accents, his faithful mise-en-scène, and his movies naturalistic cutting techniques lead to some restrictions when it comes to editing. When the work is passed on to Morris, so he can edit it, he has to take the genre of the film into consideration. This means that every editing decision he makes has to tie the film together, making it look and feel as real as possible, which can be a challenge. Jonathan has worked on 12 films selected for the Official Competition at the Festival de Cannes, two of which took the Palme d’Or, as well as three films in competition at the Venice Film Festival and the Berlinale. Recently, Morris edited the award-winning docudrama series “The Great War – The People’s Story” for ITV. Full list of credits on https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0606682/ ABOUT KEN LOACH

Ken Loach is a British film and television director, and the UK's foremost political filmmaker. Born in 1936 in Nuneaton, Ken Loach studied law at Oxford, but branched into a repertory stage career (at one point understudying Kenneth Williams in Leicester). Shifting into television, he forged an alliance with producer Tony Garnett and developed the docudrama format via a series of hard-hitting ‘plays’ such as Cathy Come Home. Loach made his feature debut Poor Cow in 1967 and with Kes, two years later, he directed what is now acclaimed as one of the finest films ever made in Britain. His socially combative work over the next decade or two was often kept off the radar by a combination of poor distribution and broadcasting censorship. Loach's star rose again in the 1990s as award followed award for feature work no less engaged, and he came to be regarded as one of Europe's premier filmmakers.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Workshop Description: The Music Composing for Film workshop will focus on a diversity of topics of the art of composing music for a film. You will have the chance of discussing these issues with Gary Yershon, but also to interact with up to 25 fellow participants, making it extremely practical and interactive. You will also have the opportunity to assess the issues you encountered on your work, and receiving feedback to help unblock situations in the future. The topics covered on the workshop will include: HOW DID I BECAME A FILM COMPOSER? Introduction to Gary and his work. Introduction to the course participants and their work/experiences and goals. Practical questions vs creative ones Practical questions: How do I get into the business? Did I need to learn it at college? The classic catch 22 - "I know I can do it but how do I get work when I have nothing to show yet?" Creative questions: What sort of composer are you? How do you know what your voice is before you've had a chance to write? Do you need your own voice? BEING A FILM COMPOSER - WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN? How I've done it. Does this have any relevance to anyone else's career path? WHY ARE YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT WRITING MUSIC? ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET ON TO THIS? Is the music you write the most important part of your job? Which is more useful - studying film scores or classical music? Coming back to developing your own voice... Is this important or not? Practical examples: Gary will show a few examples. Each course member will bring one cue to play which represents them best. Trends in film scoring. How this affects how you write. Should be take any notice of fashion? Examining some examples. The important stuff: Working with directors Working with producers Working with directors and producers who don't agree with each other. Your team: Contractors Orchestrators Programmers Copying Other backup Boring stuff: Money Agents Publishing & copyright Giving away your rights for opportunities and working for free. Conclusion: Spoiler alert! It's not how good you are but how good you want to be. Maybe! You probably know more about this than you think. Trust yourself. Be lucky. Make your own luck. Work hard. Be good. Be generous. Be better than you thought you could be. Be patient. But Don't wait for it to come to you. Being a composer isn't really a career choice. You don't pick it. It's chooses you. There is no escape. If you tick these boxes you already are a composer. The rest is just working out the details.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

CHOICES Visualising the narrative ‘We’re building something here… We’re building it from scratch. All the pieces matter.’ Detective Lester Freamon, THE WIRE Every project is unique. But each involves a seemingly endless series of choices. Perhaps the most critical—and sometimes the most difficult—decision, is exactly how to approach its design. Seldom found easily or quickly, the key—the way into the design of a film—is essential. That essential key can inform and shape every subsequent choice throughout the art direction process. The workshop will explore approaches to identifying and working with the essential ideas, emotions, concepts, and imagery that will drive the design. Topics for discussion will include: Finding visual arcs within the story Identifying thematic elements Emotional tones Research Each individual’s distinct path in the business And very importantly, collaboration. Filmmaking is at its core an intimate and collaborative experience. We’ll look at working with others in the team—how open exchange with others enriches one’s work. With the director and DP, the Production Designer shares visual authorship of the work. Beyond that, though—in addition to directing and supervising set dec, props, construction, and paint, the PD and their art director(s) confer and make decisions with many other departments: wardrobe, SPFX, VFX, stunts, sound, etc., from prep through production. Working with the script for a short film, participants will begin this discovery process, researching and assembling (outside online course time) a brief presentation of how the visual arc of the film will reflect, support, and enrich the narrative. A group review/discussion will wrap up the session. PROFILE OF PARTICIPANT

Practical questions vs creative ones Practical questions: How do I get into the business? Did I need to learn it at college? The classic catch 22 - "I know I can do it but how do I get work when I have nothing to show yet?" Creative questions: What sort of composer are you? How do you know what your voice is before you've had a chance to write? Do you need your own voice? BEING A FILM COMPOSER - WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN? How I've done it. Does this have any relevance to anyone else's career path? WHY ARE YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT WRITING MUSIC? ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET ON TO THIS? Is the music you write the most important part of your job? Which is more useful - studying film scores or classical music? Coming back to developing your own voice... Is this important or not? Practical examples: Gary will show a few examples. Each course member will bring one cue to play which represents them best. Trends in film scoring. How this affects how you write. Should be take any notice of fashion? Examining some examples. The important stuff: Working with directors Working with producers Working with directors and producers who don't agree with each other. Your team: Contractors Orchestrators Programmers Copying Other backup Boring stuff: Money Agents Publishing & copyright Giving away your rights for opportunities and working for free. Conclusion: Spoiler alert! It's not how good you are but how good you want to be. Maybe! You probably know more about this than you think. Trust yourself. Be lucky. Make your own luck. Work hard. Be good. Be generous. Be better than you thought you could be. Be patient. But Don't wait for it to come to you. Being a composer isn't really a career choice. You don't pick it. It's chooses you. There is no escape. If you tick these boxes you already are a composer. The rest is just working out the details.

She worked with John Huston on other thirteen occasions, in films like “Moulin Rouge” (1953), “Moby Dick” (1956), “The Misfits” (1961) and “Wise Blood” (1979).

ABOUT PETE TRAVIS

Established director and BAFTA winner Pete Travis actually had a late start in his filmmaking career: before becoming a director, Pete Travis was a social worker. However, inspired by Alan Clarke and Costa-Cravas, he decided to take a post-graduate course in filmmaking. Soon after graduation he acquired the rights of “Faith” (short story written by Nick Hornby) and presented his first short film at the London TV Festival (1997). Later, he directed episodes of “Cold Feet” (1999) and the TV series “Other People's Children” (2000), as well as “The Jury” (2002) mini-series and the TV movie “Henry VIII” (2003), featuring Helena Bonham-Carter and Mark Strong. Impressed with his work, Paul Greengrass, “Captain Phillips´” director, sent Travis a script that he co-wrote with Guy Hibbert – “Omagh”. The film premiered in 2004 at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Discovery Award. The film also won the 2005 BAFTA Award for “Best Single Drama”. “Vantage Point”, was his first major motion film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox. It was released in the USA, in 2008. Just one year later, in January of 2009, Pete Travis took to Sundance to premiere “Endgame”, which dramatizes the last days of Apartheid in South Africa and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, William Hurt, Jonny Lee Miller and Mark Strong. Later, Travis directed a film adaptation of the popular UK comic book series, “Dredd” (2012). In Travis' feature film, Karl Urban takes on the role of judge Dredd with Olivia Thirlby playing his young accomplice. The film quickly gathered a cult following.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Techniques for directing non-actors: Singular Drama Throughout the two-day practical workshop, participants will learn and experience the technique that Scandar uses during the preparations of his actors and non actors as well as during the shooting. Participants will get hands-on insight into the process of creating drama in a film using the human capacity to respond emotionally to fictional situations. The Singular Drama method is applicable on professional actors as well as non-actors. Filmmakers often use the element of surprise to direct actors for certain scenes to get authentic emotional responses. The directors of AJAMI based their film entirely on this principle. Unlike other forays into improvisation, AJAMI had a very precise screenplay and a well-constructed plot that demanded specific emotional responses from its actors. The actors ended up acting out a story, without being aware that they were being directed according to a pre-written script. The film is a work of fiction which shows “real” people acting in situations that are orchestrated by the directors, but very “real” to the performers, resulting in the actors projecting emotions on camera that they actually experienced at the time. This was achieved over specialized workshops, in which the actors were brought to each character’s emotional and psychological state as written in the script. Workshop learning objectives: 1. Participants will learn techniques to liberate their non-actors from the fear of the camera. 2. Participants will learn how to prepare their actors/non-actors for filming. 3. Participants will learn and experiment with improvisation techniques. 4. Participants will experience the method as actors in order to get a better understanding of the involved processes. 5. Participants will get insights on pre-production, production and shooting techniques when applying the method. 6. Participants will learn how to direct actors and non-actors using the Singular Drama method. Participants are encouraged to bring scenes they would like to direct. ABOUT SCANDAR COPTI Copti is an Oscar-nominated Palestinian filmmaker born and raised in Yafa. In 2009, his first full-length feature film “Ajami” won the Camera d’Or Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival. His film was also nominated for the 82nd Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Film category and won more than 15 awards worldwide. Formerly a mechanical engineer, he has also written, directed and edited several fiction, documentary and experimental short films. Copti was on the jury of the Tribeca film festival as well as at the Thessaloniki film festival in 2010 and President of the Human Rights Award in the Istanbul International film festival 2011.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION ‘RETELLING THE STORY’ FILM SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP Screenwriting is not simply about creation. It’s about rewriting, reshaping, refining, cutting and testing your film, going over every single element again and again and again and again - sometimes for years. If narrative cinema is primarily about storytelling, the screenwriter’s job is not to tell that story but to retell it repeatedly until it’s good enough to become a film. This workshop is about what this truly means - from both an artistic and business perspective. It will cover a diverse range of topics with the intention of helping you improve your craft and understand how to work in the industry - even if you completely disagree with everything said. The workshop will be interactive. Everyone should feel free to share their own methods and ask questions. All participants should prepare a two minute pitch for a film idea, which can either be an existing project or a new idea. Across the weekend, these pitches will be heard in front of the group and then discussed. You will be timed, so make sure you don’t over-run! The topics covered will be broadly chronological so the weekend follows the journey of a screenplay from idea to getting made. The intention behind this is to show how much needs to be done before any actual writing takes place. This includes the first draft, which is always so awful it can barely be classed as writing. The topics covered will include: A. BEFORE YOU WRITE - What Is An Idea? The first retelling of a story - Pitches, Specs, Assignments - How to get to tell the story - What Is Genre - Retelling our story in archetypes - Existing Material - Retelling someone else’s story by adaptation - True Stories - Retelling someone’s life as a story - PARTICIPANT PITCHES Part I B. STARTING TO SCRIBBLE - One page - Your story as a mission statement - Outlines, Treatments, Beat Sheets - Finding and refinding your story - The Battle Between Plot and Character - What drives your story - The Pitch - Retelling your story out loud - PARTICIPANT PITCHES Part II C. TYPING UP THE 1ST DRAFT - Finding the tone - How to tell your story - Character - Letting them tell their stories - Structuring and Restructuring Your Story - Dialogue - Showing and Telling Your Story - PARTICIPANT PITCHES Part III D. FINALLY, NOW YOU’RE WRITING - What is development and why is it so horrible? - Notes - How to receive, read and use them - Meetings - How to get the most from them - Rewriting yourself - How to kill your darlings without ruining everything - Rewriting others - How to kill somebody else’s darlings without ruining everything - Collaboration - Working with Producers, Directors, Financiers, Actors PROFILE OF PARTICIPANT The workshop is designed to Screenwriters, Script Editors, Directors, Producers, Film Students, and anyone with the interest in screenwriting. Dates: 3-4 November 2018 Location: London UK Price: 449.99 GBP (315GBP until 31st October) Vacancies: 25 REGISTER FOR THIS WORKSHOP ON THE LINK BELOW:

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Workshop Description: The Music Composing for Film workshop will focus on a diversity of topics of the art of composing music for a film. You will have the chance of discussing these issues with Gary Yershon, but also to interact with up to 25 fellow participants, making it extremely practical and interactive. You will also have the opportunity to assess the issues you encountered on your work, and receiving feedback to help unblock situations in the future. The topics covered on the workshop will include: HOW DO I BECOME A FILM COMPOSER? Introduction to Gary and his work. Introduction to the course students and their work/experiences and goals. Practical questions vs creative ones Practical questions: How do I get into the business? Do I need to learn it at college? The classic catch 22 - "I know I can do it but how do I get work when I have nothing to show yet?" Creative questions: What sort of composer are you? How do you know what your voice is before you've had a chance to write? Do you need your own voice? BEING A FILM COMPOSER - WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN? How I've done it. Does this have any relevance to anyone else's career path? WHY ARE YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT WRITING MUSIC? ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET ON TO THIS? Is the music you write the most important part of your job? Which is more useful - studying film scores or classical music? Coming back to developing your own voice... Is this important or not? Practical examples: Gary will show a few examples. Each course member will bring one cue to play which represents them best. Trends in film scoring. How this affects how you write. Should be take any notice of fashion? Examining some examples. The important stuff: Working with directors Working with producers Working with directors and producers who don't agree with each other. Your team: Contractors Orchestrators Programmers Copying Other backup Boring stuff: Money Agents Publishing & copyright Giving away your rights for opportunities and working for free. Conclusion: Spoiler alert! It's not how good you are but how good you want to be. Maybe! You probably know more about this than you think. Trust yourself. Be lucky. Make your own luck. Work hard. Be good. Be generous. Be better than you thought you could be. Be patient. But Don't wait for it to come to you. Being a composer isn't really a career choice. You don't pick it. It's chooses you. There is no escape. If you tick these boxes you already are a composer. The rest is just working out the details.

Impressed with his work, Paul Greengrass, “Captain Phillips´” director, sent Travis a script that he co-wrote with Guy Hibbert – “Omagh”. The film premiered in 2004 at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Discovery Award. The film also won the 2005 BAFTA Award for “Best Single Drama”. “Vantage Point”, was his first major motion film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox. It was released in the USA, in 2008.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION CHOREOGRAPHY AND MOVEMENT IN FILM Work in dance and movement in film can be an ever-changing and diverse experience. This is what makes it exciting! But it’s also what makes it extremely challenging. The top people in the industry have a vast range of skills (ballet, tap, historical dance, contemporary social dance, etc) and must always be ready to adapt and change to best serve their director and the film.

There are a host of details and elements that need to be considered at each stage of the process, in addition to the actual creation of the work. With discussions, Q and A’s, and practical ‘on your feet’ workshops, we’ll explore the myriad of fun and challenging scenarios that can present themselves on a variety of job assignments. Topics will include: Different approaches for different films, Genres, and directors; How does the dance/movement fit into the narrative of the film and/or scene; Relationships with other departments (Directors, Assistant Directors, Costume Departments, Sound Departments, Art and Props Departments); Practical sessions in creating and filming the work (historical dance, etc); Actors, dancers, and Muppets - working with differing levels of skills, abilities, and comfort zones.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Techniques for directing non-actors: Singular Drama Throughout the two-day practical workshop, participants will learn and experience the technique that Scandar uses during the preparations of his actors and non actors as well as during the shooting. Participants will get hands-on insight into the process of creating drama in a film using the human capacity to respond emotionally to fictional situations. The Singular Drama method is applicable on professional actors as well as non-actors. Filmmakers often use the element of surprise to direct actors for certain scenes to get authentic emotional responses. The directors of AJAMI based their film entirely on this principle. Unlike other forays into improvisation, AJAMI had a very precise screenplay and a well-constructed plot that demanded specific emotional responses from its actors. The actors ended up acting out a story, without being aware that they were being directed according to a pre-written script. The film is a work of fiction which shows “real” people acting in situations that are orchestrated by the directors, but very “real” to the performers, resulting in the actors projecting emotions on camera that they actually experienced at the time. This was achieved over specialized workshops, in which the actors were brought to each character’s emotional and psychological state as written in the script. Workshop learning objectives: 1. Participants will learn techniques to liberate their non-actors from the fear of the camera. 2. Participants will learn how to prepare their actors/non-actors for filming. 3. Participants will learn and experiment with improvisation techniques. 4. Participants will experience the method as actors in order to get a better understanding of the involved processes. 5. Participants will get insights on pre-production, production and shooting techniques when applying the method. 6. Participants will learn how to direct actors and non-actors using the Singular Drama method. Participants are encouraged to bring scenes they would like to direct. ABOUT SCANDAR COPTI Copti is an Oscar-nominated Palestinian filmmaker born and raised in Yafa. In 2009, his first full-length feature film “Ajami” won the Camera d’Or Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival.

ABOUT PETE TRAVIS

Established director and BAFTA winner Pete Travis actually had a late start in his filmmaking career: before becoming a director, Pete Travis was a social worker. However, inspired by Alan Clarke and Costa-Cravas, he decided to take a post-graduate course in filmmaking. Soon after graduation he acquired the rights of “Faith” (short story written by Nick Hornby) and presented his first short film at the London TV Festival (1997). Later, he directed episodes of “Cold Feet” (1999) and the TV series “Other People's Children” (2000), as well as “The Jury” (2002) mini-series and the TV movie “Henry VIII” (2003), featuring Helena Bonham-Carter and Mark Strong. Impressed with his work, Paul Greengrass, “Captain Phillips´” director, sent Travis a script that he co-wrote with Guy Hibbert – “Omagh”. The film premiered in 2004 at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the Discovery Award. The film also won the 2005 BAFTA Award for “Best Single Drama”. “Vantage Point”, was his first major motion film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox. It was released in the USA, in 2008. Just one year later, in January of 2009, Pete Travis took to Sundance to premiere “Endgame”, which dramatizes the last days of Apartheid in South Africa and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, William Hurt, Jonny Lee Miller and Mark Strong. Later, Travis directed a film adaptation of the popular UK comic book series, “Dredd” (2012). In Travis' feature film, Karl Urban takes on the role of judge Dredd with Olivia Thirlby playing his young accomplice. The film quickly gathered a cult following.
