Why Does One Want to Make Films?
In this workshop, the motivations behind the desire to make films and the creative processes will be discussed. Is cinema a way of chasing meaning, or is it an existential escape? The goal is for participants to shed light on their starting points by questioning the reasons behind their desire to make films and their passion for cinema.
