LIKE THE WALLS TO MY HOUSE
IMPROVISATION IN RELATION TO NARRATIVE FILM WITH EMILY WARDILL
15 September 2014 - 17 November 2014

LIKE THE WALLS TO MY HOUSE is a series of workshops, reading groups and lectures using the process of film making itself to think about working as an artist in the moving image today. We will begin with an introductory lecture looking at the difference between modernist and post-modern approaches to artist film and how ideas around illusion have changed in the last 50 years within art/moving image discourse.
Participation and collaboration are a necessary part of film making and students will be asked to make a film as part of a group .We will explore improvisation, using techniques developed by Viola Spolin and Keith Johnson to open up this process and re-animate practices that have become stuck in the studio.
Finally we will look at editing and montage – focusing heavily on the work of Sergei Eisenstein to think about montage as it relates to painting, collage and poetry.
