    UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA ESCOLA POLITECNICA SUPERIOR DE GANDIA Grado en Comunicación Audiovisual “Dirección de un cortometraje de ficción: Mudas” TRABAJO FINAL DE GRADO Autor/a: Fabián Muñoz Atienza Tutor/a: Nadia Alonso López GANDIA, 2019 Resumen: [ES] Generación tras generación, los creadores tratan de adaptarse a un público cada vez más exigente. Si, además, le añadimos unos tiempos y un presupuesto reducido, narrar historias se convierte en misión casi imposible. La presente investigación disecciona el método utilizado para la dirección del cortometraje de ficción dramático Mudas. Toma como punto de partida el estudio de distintos estilos en la dirección cinematográfica y su posible adaptación a los medios disponibles y al contexto. Se fundamenta en la adaptación de un guion original y, con especial atención en la dirección de actores, trata de profundizar en las soluciones más propicias para un proyecto de bajo presupuesto. Y se centra, también, en la coordinación de equipos y en la dificultad que trae un liderazgo de índole creativa, incidiendo en el mantenimiento de la corresponsabilidad del equipo humano. Mediante dicho estudio, se proporciona una visión creativa original y un método para llevarla a la pantalla. Palabras clave: Cortometraje | Ficción | Dirección de cine | Interpretación | Bajo presupuesto Abstract: [EN] Generation after generation, creators try to adapt to an increasingly demanding audience. If, moreover, we add reduced time and budget, telling stories becomes almost an impossible mission. The present investigation dissects the method used to direct the dramatic fiction short film Mudas.

But it’s not that easy to forget the war and leave violence behind. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM since 2008, every French soldier returning from a tour of duty goes through a “decompression period” (canadians do the same thing – us soldiers too). They are taken to a five-star hotel for three days where they are supposed to forget about the war and relax among tourists enjoying their vacation. The program, devised by army psychologists, includes aqua- gym and relaxation classes, boat excursions and group mee- tings where everyone must tell the story of their individual experience during the six months spent in a war zone. This military therapy is more or less successful. TWO POWERFUL WOMEN Aurore and Marine are two young women with strong per- sonalities. They’ve known each other since childhood, come from modest backgrounds and grew up in lorient, an ave- rage town, where there aren’t a lot of alternatives for young people to build a future.

  • Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Greece, July 3-9
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: June 29, 2017 Esmeralda Momferratou [email protected] Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Greece, July 3-9 Eight Projects Selected for 2017 Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop, in Recognition and Support of Emerging Independent Filmmakers from Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal and Spain Athens, Greece: Christos V. Konstantakopoulos’ Faliro House Productions (The Founder, The Lobster), in collaboration with Sundance Institute, will host the second edition of the Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Costa Navarino, Greece July 3-9. The workshop is designed to support emerging filmmakers from Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and this year will include filmmakers from Cyprus. The Workshop is a five-day writer’s intensive that gives independent screenwriters the opportunity to work on their feature film scripts in an environment that encourages innovation and creative risk-taking. Greek filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari (Chevalier, Attenberg), who initiated the Workshop with Christos and serves as Co-Director, consulted with Sundance Institute and Faliro House during project selection. Filmmaker Gyula Gazdag, longtime Artistic Director at the Institute’s renowned Directors Lab in the U.S., will serve as Artistic Director, and will lead group sessions, alongside one-on-one story meetings with each project, where Tsangari and Gazdag will be joined by Creative Advisors Lisa Cholodenko (Olive Kitteridge, The Kids Are Alright), Julie Delpy (Before Midnight, 2 Days In Paris), Jeff Nichols (Loving, Take Shelter), Ruben Östlund (Palme d’Or winner The Square, Force Majeure), Ira Sachs (Little Men, Love Is Strange), Zach Sklar (JFK), and Eva Stefani (Bathers, Acropolis).

  • The Capsule Athina Rachel Tsangari Press Kit July 2012 Copy 3
    1 2012 — Greece — 35’ DCP, 1:1.78, Color, 5.1 surround, French Synopsis Seven girls, a mansion perched on a Cycladic rock, a cycle of lessons on discipline, desire and demise—infinitely. 2 The film Athina Rachel Tsangari has created both a film and a projection installation for the DesteFashion- Collection 2012, commissioned by art collector Dakis Joannou. It is a “Greek Gothic” mystery inspired by the work of the young Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska. Tsangari curated an haute couture “capsule” for the DesteFashionCollection 2012, selecting works by young, avant-garde designers who boldly challenge the boundaries of fashion as wearable sculpture. 3 The pieces feature in both her film and projection installation, re-agitating the ongoing, essential dialogue between cinema, fashion, and the fine arts. A distinguished international all-female cast of seven is participating, including Ariane Labed, winner of the Coppa Volpi for Best Actress at the 2010 Venice Film Festival in Tsangari’s “Attenberg”; Clémence Poésy, known for her roles in the “Harry Potter” series and Danny Boyle’s “127 hours”; and Isolda Dychauk, the lead in Aleksander Sokurov’s “Faust”. 4 The installation The CAPSULE installation repurposes digital 3D technology to create a kaleidoscopic illusion apparatus, a modern-day adaptation of early cinema’s “Kinetoscope”. It invites an unsuspecting audience of passers-by to enter an adventure of visual perception, dependent on their distance from the screen and their respective heights. Viewers are invited to either fully engage and “discover” the story 5 unfolding on the screen, or fleetingly experience the images as mysterious, oneiric tableaux.

  • GREEK CINEMA PERSISTS AGAINST ALL ODDS By: Niko Franghias
    1 HELLENIC CURRENT: GREEK CINEMA PERSISTS AGAINST ALL ODDS By: Niko Franghias (Article reproduced with the kind permission of THE GREEK STAR - February 9, 2012 Edition "DOES GREECE MATTER?") It started early 2008, when an unusual Greek thriller, TALE 52, was announced in official competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the essential hub in Holland for discovering film talent from around the globe. The film, written and directed by young filmmaker Alexis Alexiou with the support of the government-funded Greek Film Centre (GFC), was well received and soon was acquired by a European distribution label. TALE 52 moved on to Sitges – the Catalonian International Film Festival in Spain - where it won best Screenplay. And then, there was Light! An awakening! Every filmmaker went through a revelation “why can’t I?” That’s not to imply that in the past, Greek films were not recognized by major European film events and international audiences. Visual storytellers like Michael Cacoyannis, Costa Gavras, Pantelis Voulgaris, the late Theo Angelopoulos, Greece’s exceptional film poet, and others, have been embraced by Cannes, Berlin and Venice respectively. But, in my view, all these worthy distinctions through such a long passage of time loomed more like rare flashes of clarity in a storyteller’s mind that has been in a coma for the last 37 years. Three Greek films lit sunbeams in major European festivals in 2009 and the Greek film community could not believe the stroke of good luck. In Berlinale’s Panorama, STRELLA, A WOMAN’S WAY, by director/writer/producer Panos H.
