STARTING FROM SCRATCH: WORKSHOP

ALCINE in its training guise, Zero Screen’s twin sister, the goal of which is to put future filmmakers into contact with these new films, in a series of workshops set up specifically for students and people starting out on their first audiovisual projects.

As well as meeting with some of the directors from Zero Screen, a practical workshop and a range of discussions among professionals are scheduled for this year.

WORKSHOP:
“New weapons of war (guerrilla warfare included) for digital filmmakers. “

The world of digital cameras is in a state of constant flux. The DSLR revolution has made it possible to make movies using ‘photo cameras’; and then there are the popular micro-cameras such as the GoPro, black magic and equipment that records with virtually no light, as well as top-end devices such as Red and the conversion to digital of Arriflex classics.
All in all, what matters to young filmmakers is the ability to choose the equipment best suited to the project in question, and that is what this short course is all about.

In conjunction with a pioneering Spanish company in the field of training and renting professional digital equipment, WeLab, and aided by the director of photography and filmmaker Antonio Blanco, we will take a look at the range of options currently on the market as if they constituted a variety of techniques available to a painter, so we can learn how to choose when producing work in oil, water-colour, plastidecor or photoshop.
