WORKSHOP
Sertaç Koyuncu
Exercises on Filmic “Genrification”
Sertaç Koyuncu will conduct a workshop on blurring the boundaries between popular cinema and art cinema. He will give three short lectures on the relationship between film genres and sociological, historical, environmental, philosophical imaginations that inspire artistic forms. He will share some scenes from his short films “Suffocating with Manners” and “Everything I Know About Horror”, in which he tries synthesizing film genres and social imagination. At the end of each lecture, participants will do exercises on the creativity of "genrification." The participants will brainstorm their own genre-hybrid film ideas by using social imagination in groups. The workshop will end with the participants preparing a film prospectus.
