Meetings with the authors
Also today, starting from 11am, there have been the habitual meetings with the heroes of the festival for a "face to face" with the public and press.
Similar to every meeting organised by the festival this also became an occasion for dialogue, as always in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, where actors, directors, producers, directors of photography, screenwriters find they can exchange opinions and respond to those who want to know more, or also just satisfy littly curiosities, with a final toast.
Sunday morning began the directors of the two short films screened last night. The Georgian George Chiper and the Romananian Šhota Gamisonia, respectively for Balastiera #186 and Pole, Klouny, jabloko... Both very young, enrolled in the Faculty of Cinema, they had the way to both confront and approach the realization of the Short Film.
The theme of the documentary films has been retrieved in the second branch of the meetings, with Vladimir Kolas, writer of Galeria Ady, and the Dutch director Mercedes Stalenhoef, director of Carmen Meets Borat. She is rightly the highest rated Dutch writer (despite her name), who captured the attention of those present, relating the difficulties in shooting a documentary and with the ethics that a form like documentary takes.
At the end the festival of screenwriting by Vrnjaća Bnja (Serbia) was presented. In the summertime in a small town near Belgrado, unwinds one of the most long-lived reports of Serbia. This year there will be the 33rd edition from 8th -12th August. In discussion are the President and the Executive Producer: Milan Nikodievjic and Marian Vujovic, already guests in other parts of the Trieste Film Festival. |
Masterclass: Màrta Mèszàros
The third appointment with the Masterclass, lessons taken by the masters of cinema for students and the public. The various teachers for the Eastweek project were clearly not chosen by chance. Apart from being old friends of the festival, among them they all had very different approaches to the seventh art. Departing from "advice" by Jerzy Stuhr, and passing onto Andrzej Zulawski who instead did not want to give advice because each person has the right way to be inside themselves, we arrived at Màrta Mèszàros the only female director in the Masterclasses: strongly needed to provide a female point of view for the Cinema of the East.
The Hungarian director began her talk with a thorough historic explanation in order to understand the basis of the cinematography of the Eastern European Countries. An approach more academic but indispensible in understanding the developments, the working influences and the present of and in the cinema that was born in the East.
