Fest of Fests is organising the workshop Cinema & Inclusion.
It’s a pilot workshop that aims to provide useful implementation tools that have emerged from the collaboration of educators and artists, using the experience of the cooperation of the director K. Evangelakou with the ONEIRODIAITOI Team.
ONEIRODIAITOI is an inclusive educational team, comprised of pupils, teachers and graduates of Special and Formal School Education, that strive for a society without stereotypes and exclusion, using Art as their means. Through dance, theatre, film and music, the team cooperates with professionals, making use of their experience and expertise. ONEIRODIAITOI expand each year, take part in festivals, receive awards and make their work known in the community, with the goal to make inclusion through art a tool-gift for all.
The workshop is addressed to teachers of formal and special education and will present in detail the production methodology of two films:
“The City has Fallen but the Roots have Remained” (2022), sound documentary about the last days before the Conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans.
“Wild Grass”(2023), a film with testimonies from Asia Minor refugees, in the context of the tribute for the centenary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
The participating teachers will be trained in film shooting, get basic knowledge of script writing and acting rehearsals, in order to be able to deliver a film making process in class.
The workshop’s duration is two weekends and will take place on 13 & 14, 20 & 21 April 2024.
