Masterclass: Mia Engberg & Margaux Guillemard – at 10.00-11.00, Teater Tre

In the project The Visual Silence, Mia Engberg, PhD Candidate at SKH, explores new ways of using image and non-image in an attempt to get closer to the core of the film story. Mia Engberg holds a masterclass together with Margaux Guillemard, filmmaker and lecturer at the Sorbonne in Paris, about the work with the Belleville trilogy and the search for a new film aesthetic. The seminar begins with Margaux Guillemard’s short film The Last Name of John Cage. (In English)

The emotionally sustainable film process – at 11.30-12.15, Teater Tre

Emilie Löfgren, documentary film director and SKH alumni, and Cilla Holm, film therapist, talk about how the method was developed during the process of the documentary film Om sorg (About grief). (In Swedish). See more in the film tips below.
