By Smaragda Nitsopoulou

Most workshops for independent filmmakers begin with the same unspoke n premise: that you are working with less than you should have, and that t he goal is to compensate—to fake the look of money you don’t have, to imit ate the production values of films made under conditions nothing like your s.


This workshop begins from the opposite premise.


Som e of the most precise, intimate, and politically alert cinema of the last fifty years was made deliberately small. Chantal Akerman filmed in her own apartment. Abbas Kiarostami strapped two cameras to a dashboard and dismi ssed the crew. Harun Farocki refused to show what his film was about, and made that refusal the form.


These are often described as “surviv al strategies,” but in reality they are formal, ethical, and artistic posi tions—ones that filmmakers with full financing cannot easily reach.


This is a workshop about learning to occupy that position on purpose. Send your materials before the 17th of May at contact@noumenia.nl.
