Sunday 26.7. / 13:30-15:30, HUB 123
Forget the rules. In this workshop, a story does not have to make sense in order to work. The inspiration will be Věra Chytilová’s legendary film Daisies, which, even sixty years after its release, still surprises with its playfulness, boldness and ability to challenge ideas of what cinema should look like. British artists and educators Annis Joslin and Claire Wearn from Corridor will introduce a creative model of working with film that goes far beyond interpretation or post-screening discussion. Through mobile filmmaking, collage, animation, sound and editing, participants will explore the principles at the heart of Daisies: absurdity, association, rhythm and the disruption of traditional storytelling. Rather than analysing the film from a distance, they will discover its language through their own creative practice.
The workshop follows the anniversary screening of Daisies and launches a new UK-Czech project by Corridor and the NaFilM film museum, exploring how Chytilová’s work continues to inspire young audiences and a new generation of filmmakers.
Recommended for: Teachers, educators, cultural professionals interested in film, media and audiovisual education. Also suitable for festival visitors aged 12+
Lecturers: Claire Wearn, Annis Joslin (Corridor, Great Britain)
