Continutul/productia filmelor: Proiectul are ca scop facilitarea formarii spiritului critic, angajat al artistilor fata de conditia actuala a societatilor post-sovietice (ale fostei URSS) sau post-socialiste. Suntem interesati in mod special de investigatiile care folosesc estetica filmelor si tehnologiilor digitale pentru a explora si comenta pe marginea fenomenului de âtranzitie"(golului, darii, rupturii sau continuitatii) - in procesul deconstructiei unui sistem (socialist) si inlocuirii cu altul (neo-liberal), in acelasi timp artistii ar putea propune idei care doar ar porni de la scopul enuntat. Participantii vor elabora un scenariu de film, vor selecta sursele de arhiva adecvate ideii si vor realiza un scurtmetraj digital (de la 5 la 10 minute). Principiul de baza al conceptului si producerii filmului constand in refolosirea sau re-contextualizarea surselor de arhiva, incluzand filme de propaganda si arhive din perioada socialista (KSA:K dispune de o colectie de asemenea materiale), fragmente de filme noi sau arhive private, televiziune si internet.
Aptitudini acumulate prin participarea la atelier: Selectarea si digitalizarea materialelor analog (filme de 16 sau 8 mm, casete video), filmarea cu aparate profesioniste, montajul Ãn AVID, tehnici de post-productie. Filmele vor fi finalizate in format mini DV si exportate in format DVD. Unul din criteriile de selectie este experienta anterioara in productia video (lucrul cu camera, montaj).
Informatii practice: Organizatorii vor acoperi costurile de drum (in limitele calatoriei cu autocarul/trenul), cazarea si masa va fi asigurata pe toata durata atelierului. Nu se percep taxe de participare.
Criterii de inscriere: Pretendentii trebuie sa aiba nationalitatea sau sa fie cetateni ai Republicii Moldova, Romaniei, Bulgariei, Macedoniei, Bosniei & Hertegovinei, Kosovo, Serbiei, Muntenegru, Croatiei, sau Sloveniei. Asteptam propuneri de la artisti vizuali, cineasti si activisti video care vor fi inspirati de intersectia (dialogul, coliziunea sau complementaritatea) dintre dimensiunile istorice a trecutului si realitatile prezentului. Artistii interesati vor pregati un pachet de propuneri continand urmatoarele documente: un CV (1-3 pagini), o declaratie scurta despre interesul particular in acest atelier (150 de cuvinte), un sinopsis al filmului (500-600 de cuvinte), un plan de productie sau o axa cronologica si o lista de descriere a materialelor de arhiva care urmeaza a fi folosite. Daca aceste materiale de arhiva sunt greu de gasit in Moldova si au un specific strict regional, participantii sunt incurajati sa le aduca cu ei. Documentele de inscriere vor fi expediate ca fisier unic (.doc, .rtf, sau .pdf) prin e-mail. In cazul in care pretendentii vor dori sa trimita mostre de lucrari anterioare, coletul poate fi trimis prin posta la adresa de mai jos.

Description: The Found Footage Workshop is an in-depth exploration of the use of archival material, the aesthetics of appropriation, sampling and detournement, and the transfer of cinematic language to digital forms. The workshop will consist in theoretical presentations, film screenings, and assisted hands-on workshops (selection of archival sources, analogue-digital transfers, montage). Each participant will produce a film based on the re-use of archival sources. The workshop will provide an opportunity for cross-cultural exchange between artists and students from Moldova, regional artists from Balkan countries, and the international guests who have been invited to prepare the workshop.

Link: http://subsol.c3.hu/subsol_2/contributors0/richardsonbio.html * Introduction to history of found footage and detournement, its relation to struggles against intellectual property, and the political dimensions of "counter-documentary." Assisting participants with developing concept/montage. Screening of 1960-70s French films and post-1989 found footage from Eastern Europe. Stevan Vukovic (Belgrade, Serbia) is an art critic, film theorist, curator, and co-founder of Belgrade Art Initiatives.

Screening of films by Zelimir Zilnik and other Serbian directors. Kathrin Becker (Berlin, Germany) is an art historian, curator and the director of NBK (Neuer Berliner Kunstverein) Video Forum. Link: http://www.nbk.org/video-f.html * Introduction to the NBK Video-Forum Archive. Screening of international artist videos from late 1960s to the present from the NBK collection.
Film Content/Production: The workshop aims to facilitate a critical engagement by artists toward the current condition of post-soviet (former USSR) or post-socialist societies. We are especially interested in investigations that use film aesthetics and digital technologies to explore and comment upon the "transition" (gaps, ruptures, or continuities) between the dismantling of socialism and the current neo-liberal system, although artists can also propose ideas that depart from this focus. Each participant will develop a film scenario, select and choose appropriate archive sources corresponding to the idea, and edit a short digital film (5 to 10 minutes in length). The basic principle underlying the concept and production of the film should be the re-use or re-contextualization of archival sources, including propaganda films and archives from the socialist period (KSA:K has an available collection of these), fragments of new films, home movies or private archives, television and internet.
Skills gained by taking the workshop: Selecting and digitizing analogue materials (16 - 8 MM film, VHS), filming with professional cameras, editing with AVID, postproduction techniques. Films will be finished on mini DV and exported to DVD. Please note that some prior experience in video production (camerawork, montage) is required.
Practical information: Selected participants will receive reimbursement for travel costs (train or bus), their accommodations and meals will be covered by the organizer for the duration of the workshop. There is no participation fees.
Criteria and submissions: Applicants should be nationals or residents of Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, or Slovenia. We are looking for inspired proposals by visual artists, filmmakers and video activists that envision an intersection (dialogue, clash or complementarity) between past histories and present realities. Interested artists will prepare a proposal package containing the following documents: a CV (1-3 pages), a short statement about the particular interest in this workshop (150 words), a film synopsis (500-600 words), a production plan or timeline, and a tentative list/description of archival sources to be used. If these archival sources are difficult to find and specific to the region, artists are encouraged to bring them along. The application documents should be sent as a single file (.doc, .rtf or .pdf) by email. If applicants would like to submit samples of previous works, the package can be sent by post to the following address, but the electronic documents should also be sent separately by email to:
