LAIDA LERTXUNDI. 8 ENCUENTROS

“8 Encuentros” is conceived as an ephemeral school that combines pedagogical practices with the dismantling of the production processes of a film to create something new. Eight workshops and collaborative filming that will result in a work in 16 mm.

Each encounter is made up of two parts: the first of them consists of a workshop that will be held with a guest artist and will take place in Azkuna Zentroa’s spaces. The second part will take place in the mountains of Bizkaia.

These mountains will incorporate scores and exercises composed by a variety of artists and writers, in an attempt to rethink the ‘making of the film’ as a joint performance within a natural environment, as well as a pedagogical experiment outside the confines of academic institutions.

Each of the eight summits will consider a specific process within the phases of traditional film production (location, interpretation, script, soundtrack, production, camera, lighting and editing), resignifying them to transform them into a specific set of ideas and parameters with which to create a work of moving pictures.

Light carries information. During this workshop, we will consider light as the fundamental material of what is seen. We will experiment with low-light and overexposure, and use practical lighting in the dark.
