BELA TARR 2 WEEK FILM DIRECTING WORKSHOP
26th of February to 11th of March 2018
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr will lead a practical two weeks Film Directing workshop in Espinho, Portugal.
The workshop will give the opportunity to 12 participants to write and develop scripts in work groups of 4 participants who will work together to produce a short-film in these two weeks.
The workshop will follow the logic of transmitting knowledge by practical work, being extremely practical.
Béla Tarr will share his knowledge and experience with the participants while, at the same time, will respond to each participant’s personal history and artistIc practice, in order to guide them throughout the whole process of filmmaking.
The workshop will not attend a right\wrong logic, but rather will be an insight on Bela Tarr's point of view of filmmaking and his personal process.
The participants will be chosen directly by Béla Tarr. There is an application fee of 50EUR which will be reimburse to those who are selected.
To make the application, you need to fill the application form and send us your portfolio and a motivation letter.
“This is what I can say to young filmmakers: Go and be more radical, be more revolutionary than I was.†Béla Tarr
ABOUT BELA TARR
Béla Tarr (Pécs, 21 July 1955) is a Hungarian film director, widely regarded as one of the most influential film authors of the past thirty years.
Béla Tarr began making amateur films at the age of 16. His amateur work brought him to the attention of the Bela Balazs Studios (named in honour of the Hungarian cinema theorist), which helped fund Tarr's 1979 feature debut “Family Nestâ€. The 1981 work “The Outsider†and the following year's “The Prefab People†continued in much the same vein, but with a 1982 television adaptation of Macbeth, his work began to change dramatically; comprised of only two shots, the first shot (before the main title) was five minutes long, with the second 67 minutes in length. After 1984's “Almanac of Fallâ€, Tarr (who had written his first four features alone) began collaborating with Hungarian novelist Laszlo Krasznahorkai for 1987's “Damnationâ€.
A planned adaptation of Krasznahorkai's epic novel “Satantango†took over seven years to realize. The film, a 415-minute masterpiece, finally appeared to international acclaim in 1994.
His 7 and a half hour masterpiece, won the Berlin International Film Festival Caligari Award, the Prix de l’Age d’Or award, and the National Society of Film Critics Award (USA) for experimental film. “The Man From London†(2007) was nominated for the Palme d’or at Cannes Film Festival.
“Werckmeister Harmonies†(2000) was nominated for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won two Hungarian Film Critics Awards. His last film “The Turin Horse†won the Berlin International Film Festival’s Silver Bear and FIPRESCI Awards, and the FIPRESCI Best Foreign Film Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
In January 2011, Bela Tarr joined the Board of Directors of the recently formed cinema foundation and NGO for human rights Cine Foundation International and in September of the next year, he received the BIAFF special award for lifetime achievement.
