Tekla Taidelli: Street Cinema Seminar
7th Peloponnisos International Doc Film Festival is looking for various assistants for the production of a short film that will take place 22 June-4 July in Kalamata for the seminar conducted by Italian director and Street Cinema School founder, Tekla Taideli.
The positions are available for anyone interested in film production or actually playing in the film.
The Street Cinema School is a unique school founded in 2013 by Tekla Taideli, a neorealist director who works with actors she finds in the street!
Taideli has a mission: giving a voice back to the "invisible" people of the streets that they aren't usually in the spotlight. Using the texts of famous writers like Shakspear and Bukowski she creates multidimensional films. (You can check out her interview with one of 7th Peldocfest's volunteers during the online premiere of her film Bedu, here.)
The seminar will take place during the 7th Peloponnisos International Doc Film Festival, inspired by the 200 year anniversary of the Greek Revolution, the participants will use Pasolini's poems and people that will be recruited on the street.
About the participants
Athens School of Fine Arts students will be able to participate in the seminar but it is open to other filmmakers and young people of the region as it requires a lot of time. The participants will learn more about screenplay writing, direction, cinematography, and editing. The whole point of the seminar is to produce with the minimum of equipment, in 2 weeks, a festival level short film. The film will debut in the ending ceremony of the 7th Peloponnisos International Doc Film Festival. The seminar will take place in Kalamata from 22nd June to 4th July with daily classes from 9 am to 7 pm.
