LECTURES

-mikael opstrup  Mikael Opstup "Trailers"

This lecture was almost entirely visual with very little comments and not based on a script, so the following is a brief on the different inspirational trailers screened-

  Diana El Jeirudi "Filmmakers At Times Of Political Change"

DOX BOX as Documentary Film festival was the meeting points for filmmakers in Syria. 
Filmmakers and audiences were inspired by screening of films such as BURMA VJ in DOX BOX and the debate around the "filmmaking" of the film itself. 
When the revolution started, documentary became a tool and a form for activists work.  
I am mostly interested in the challenges facing "filmmakers" but also "filmmaking", beyond the reality of Syria, to the whole world.

emma davie2012  EMMA DAVIE “How local stories become international”
The term inspirational talk- is quite daunting. 
The very word inspire is dubious- suggesting that a visitation from the muses is all we need to make work which will travel and do well internationally. We all know this is not the case.

stan neumann   Stan Neumann : "Magining/Shooting/Editing"

Film making is an organic process. In a certain way the finished film is already there in the first spark of the idea of the film to be, often years before the work is actually completed.
