Persmap Wildcards 2016 VAF WILDCARDS 2016 In 2005 werden de VAF Wildcards in het leven geroepen. Intussen zijn ze een onmisbaar instrument om nieuw en veelbelovend talent te begeleiden van de schoolbanken naar de professionele Vlaamse filmwereld. Afgestudeerde filmmakers kunnen met hun eindwerk meedingen naar een VAF Wildcard. De uitreiking van de prijzen vindt plaats tijdens het Internationaal Kortfilmfestival van Leuven. Het festival vertoont bovendien alle films die deelnemen aan de Wildcardcompetitie. De films kunnen er ‘on demand’ bekeken worden op een aantal interactieve schermen. De laureaten van de VAF Wildcards krijgen een premie om een eerste buitenschools project te verwezenlijken buiten het reguliere selectiecircuit van het Vlaams Audiovisueel Fonds. Bovendien worden de winnaars individueel begeleid door een professionele coach en krijgen ze carte blanche op vlak van onderwerp, lengte etc. van dit toekomstige project. Alle Wildcards samen zijn goed voor 310.000 EUR. Zo zijn het meteen de grootste filmprijzen van het land. Er worden Wildcards uitgereikt binnen alle categorieën die het VAF ondersteunt. Er zijn twee fictie Wildcards (60.000 EUR per Wildcard), twee documentaire Wildcards (40.000 EUR per Wildcard), één animatie Wildcard (eveneens 60.000 EUR) en – uniek dit jaar - twee FilmLab Wildcards (25.000 EUR per Wildcard). De VAF Wildcards zijn op korte termijn een begrip geworden. Filmscholen en -studenten hechten er veel belang aan. Producenten en zenders houden de wildcardwinnaars scherp in de gaten. De populariteit van de Wildcards blijkt o.m. uit het aantal inzendingen: 90 dit jaar. De resultaten en het professioneel parcours van een aantal wildcardwinnaars spreken tot de verbeelding. Gilles Coulier, Adil El Arbi en Bilall Fallah, Tom Van Avermaet, Nathalie Teirlinck, Gust Van den Berghe of Sahim Omar Kalifa zijn maar enkele fictieregisseurs die ooit een VAF Wildcard wonnen en intussen hun naam vestigden. Documentaire laureaten Eva Küpper, Sofie Benoot en Tim De Keersmaecker maakten de voorbije jaren opvallend nieuw werk. Wouter Bongaerts en Boris Sverlow zetten hun Wildcardpremie in voor het respectievelijk ‘Mia’ en ‘Gerontophobia’. En intussen is het uitkijken naar de Wildcardfilms van jonge beloftes Deben Van Dam, Karen Vàzquez Guadarrama en Nienke Deutz en Miki Ambrozy. LAUREATEN WILDCARDS 2016 FICTIE Abel Bos/kip synopsis Een zwarte komedie over een absurd familieportret waarin een 10-jarig meisje centraal staat. Haar kille omgeving en afwezige ouders zorgen ervoor dat ze zich steeds vreemder begint te gedragen om een reactie uit te lokken. Haar babysitter ziet het gebeuren, maar is niet in staat om er wat aan te veranderen. regisseur » Abel Bos school » School of Arts HoGent (KASK) script » Abel Bos DoP » Sander Vandenbroucke montage » Abel Bos geluid / muziek» Matthias Ten Houte de Lange duur » 15’33” contact Abel Bos [email protected] +31 624 883 801 Jose Daniel Granados Carranza/Yibril synopsis Yibril is het verhaal van Gabriel, een Spaanse straatartiest, die problemen heeft met de politie, en Hala, een Syrische vluchtelinge die vastgehouden wordt door smokkelaars. Gabriel vindt een rinkelende telefoon in een vuilbak in Brussel. Aan de andere kant van de lijn smeekt Hala hem om hulp. Ze ontdekken dat ze zich eigenlijk niet ver van elkaar bevinden en Gabriel gaat op zoek, in de straten van Brussel, naar Hala, om haar te helpen. regisseur » Jose Daniel Granados Carranza school » RITCS School of Arts script » Jose Daniel Granados Carranza DoP » Silvian Hettich montage » Urszula Mieszkielo geluid / muziek » Vincent Groos duur » 18’23" contact Jose Daniel Granados Carranza [email protected] +32 497 29 56 66 LAUREATEN WILDCARDS 2016 DOCU Ira Goryainova/die ruinen von europa synopsis In een Europese unie opgedeeld in verschillende pro- en contrakampen, tegelijkertijd geconfronteerd met een vluchtelingencrisis en de opkomst van rechts, onder een dagelijkse pletwals van opinies en meningen, clickbait-nieuwsflashes en een voortdurende stroom van beelden, haakt een bepaalde groep mensen bewust af om alles vanaf de zijlijn te bekijken. ‘Die Ruinen von Europa’ volgt een jonge Parisienne, een echte hedendaagse Ophelia/Elektra zoals Heiner Müller ze portretteerde in zijn apocalyptische theatertekst ‘Die Hamletmaschine’ (1977), die de leidraad is doorheen deze onbehaaglijk donkere trip die je tot nadenken dwingt. De Ophelia van deze tijd is destructief, maar spreekt tegelijkertijd in een poëtisch-cynische toon over macht, gebruik en misbruik. Een stem vanuit de donkerste hoek van een Europa in een stevige mentale crisis. regisseur » Ira Goryainova school » RITCS School of Arts script » Ira Goryainova DoP » Patrick Stevens montage » Ira A.

Dit brengt hen tot een zoektocht: ze verlaten Bogota, de onmogelijke stad. De zoektocht leidt ons tot diep in de Colombiaanse jungle, waar ze waarheden ontdekken en onverwacht bezoek krijgen. Een verwondering over wat de dood, spoken, geesten en broederschap betekenen. regisseur » Juanita Onzaga school » LUCA School of Arts (campus Sint-Lukas Brussel) script » Juanita Onzaga DoP » Juanita Onzaga montage » Mira Matthew geluid / muziek» Senjan Jansen, Lucho Quintanilla duur » 20’ contact Juanita Onzaga [email protected] +32 485 38 51 93 LAUREATEN WILD CARDS 2016 ANIMATIE & FILMLAB Jasmine Elsen/kastaars synopsis Niemand van de flat wil naar buiten kijken.

Ondanks hun leeftijd leven en gedragen ze zich als volwassenen. Ze zijn volkomen autonoom en beslissen zelf hoe ze hun tijd benutten. Hun maturiteit lijkt volkomen aanvaard: niemand rondom hen lijkt zich daarover te verwonderen. Afgezien van één enkele persoon: de filmmaker zelf. Geïntrigeerd door hun zorgeloosheid en hun stoutmoedigheid, volgt hij hen in hun dagdagelijkse leven. “Hollow Hours” is een dubbelportret, die verschillende lezingen lijkt te suggereren. De grens tussen fictie en realiteit blijft vaag, terwijl de poëzie de onbeduidendheid en ruwheid tracht te verbinden. De film bevraagt de betekenis van het nietsdoen, de vrijheid en de marginaliteit. Het gedraagt zich als een loop: als dit een verhaal is beginnen we er middenin. regisseur » Camille Picquot school » School of Arts HoGent (KASK) script » Camille Picquot DoP » Raimon Gaffier montage » Théophile Gay-Mazas geluid / muziek» Camille Picquot, Lucas Doméjean, Edith Herregods, Hélène Clercq-Denizot duur » 35’ contact Camille Picquot [email protected] +32 489 13 01 78 Eva Giolo/remote synopsis Remote is een suggestief verhaal. Portret van een tedere kameraadschap op het afgelegen Ierse platteland. Wonende in de eenvoud van het moment, het wachten en de herhaling van de dagen. Dit is een plek waar geen ruimte is voor het bedenken van een andere toekomst dan de eeuwige herhaling van het heden. Dit is een plek waar je overleeft, sterk bent, alleen met de wind, de ogen verbrand door het licht. Een plaats van onuitgesproken tederheid, een landschap van stilte en eenzaamheid waarin er altijd iemand zal zijn. regisseur » Eva Giolo school » School of Arts HoGent (KASK) script » Eva Giolo DoP » Eva Giolo montage » Eva Giolo geluid / muziek» Eva Giolo, Yoerik Roevens duur » 23'41'' contact Eva Giolo [email protected] +32 476 45 61 19 LAUREATEN WILDCARDS 2005-2015 PALMARES FICTIE DOCUMENTAIRE ANIMATIE FILMLAB LAUREATEN WILDCARDS 2015 | FICTIE Anouk Fortunier/drôle d’oiseau synopsis Zoe wordt na een schooldag opgepikt door haar bipolaire vader, Pierre.

  • Virgil Widrich Case Study
    Virgil Widrich Case Study: Night of a 1000 Hours (Austria, Luxembourg, Netherlands 2016) Luxembourg, 4th April 2017 VIRGIL WIDRICH Thank you very much. I have a lot of material. I could talk for ten hours – I will not. I’m very happy to be interrupted. I don’t want to fill the whole time with a lecture, so you are welcome to ask questions. Night of a 1000 Hours took nine years to make. We were at Sources in 2009, when we were much younger – except you, of course. [laughter] We were in Girona, Spain. I worked with a lot of people on this script who helped me. Miguel Machalski was one of them. Louise Gough acted as a special adviser on the script. As you’ve seen the film, I can tell you about the basic ideas behind it. Something that’s always fascinated me is this idea of Judgment Day. Having been raised Catholic, I knew all those stories and I liked the idea that one day all the dead would come out of their graves to be judged by God. I was not so keen on the God part, but what people would talk to each other about. Why should only God judge when there would also be family members? For many years, I felt this could be the seed of a great film. On a worldwide scale, this would be a very long movie, so it is reduced to one family to be able to tell it in a feature film. The dead come back with a lot of secrets, of course, and because all the witnesses of these secrets are there, it’s very hard to keep these secrets.

    belfast film festival 1st-9th APRIL 2020 :o wat*esd ev! Awat* adi _ ck m8hed 20 selly raby kane 1 OUR FUNDERS INTRODUCTION For more than 20 years we have celebrated the creativity, politics and joy film brings. We have witnessed with pride the growth of the indigenous filmmaking sector; hosted exciting ‘movie star’ guests; showcased brilliant international filmmaking talent; and shared thousands of diverse stories and cultures with you, our audience. Over the coming decade we will do it all again, re-energised and excited by the wealth of talent and love of film that surrounds us. Michele Devlin. Festival Director From Belfast to the World When I grew up in Belfast, there was no film festival. I was passionate about movies, and visually hungry, but there was no annual event to feed my hunger. I went searching elsewhere, and have ended up working with some of the greatest ACCOMMODATION OFFICIAL MEDIA people in cinema – Tilda Swinton, Jane Fonda, Sean Connery, etc. – but I think back to the 70s and 80s and imagine what more we could have achieved as movie PARTNER PARTNERS lovers and makers if we’d had a film festival. Thankfully we’ve seen brilliant changes in our society since then. Peace has returned, new populations have moved to our city, and we now have world class film studios and programme makers. The quality of our lives has improved and our horizons have opened. Film is the great horizon-opener. Since its birth 20 years ago, the Belfast Film VENUE Festival has had a centrifugal imagination.

  • Compressing Identity: Creative Thought and Meaning Construction in Copy
    B(l)ending time, (de)compressing identity: Creative thought and meaning construction in Copy Shop (2001) 1 Abstract According to the critics of Conceptual Blending Theory (CBT), most of its creativity- related applications tend to conflate the role of producer and consumer, implicitly proposing the deduction of the former’s creative perspective from the finished product through a process of reverse-engineering the latter’s meaning-making strategies. However, given the non-linearity and multi-directionality of the actual creative praxis, the relation between these two roles as heuristic categories need not be considered so much oppositional, as dialectical. Investigating the cognitive mechanisms involved in the ongoing creative process within the context of this dialectical relationship can help us gain some insight into both perspectives, while eschewing the elusiveness of their precise demarcation. The case study presented in this article constitutes such an attempt. By adopting a CBT approach, it offers an interpretation of the creative thinking behind the 2001 short film Copy Shop, informed by the documented insights of its creators. The article proposes a shift in primary focus from the mechanics of conceptual blending to its consequences in reference to the compression and decompression of vital relations and, more particularly, Time and Identity. On one hand, it aims at examining how the particular ways of populating and interrelating the mental spaces that input to the 2 blend at selected time points in the film occasion Time compressions and shape temporal experience. On the other hand, it concentrates on demonstrating how Copy Shop narrativizes the same processes of (de)compressing Identity that inform the conceptual blends it proposes.
