Course offering: ARTISTS’ FILMS

FROM IDEA TO PROJECT

A 2 month course to support beginning filmmakers

This course is aimed at students, recent graduates and artists in general, who coming from a visual arts background, wish to step into filmmaking, and successfully develop moving-image projects for screenings at festivals, cinemas and art spaces.

This trajectory will guide you from idea to project, teaching and helping you to create a strong project dossier in order to approach production companies, funding bodies, pitching labs, and so on. We will also be working on a personal strategy for your specific project: who to contact, where to apply, when, etc.

We will cover introductions to a broad range of topics, including an analysis of the field and professional landscape, what possibilities are out there for you, as well as writing treatments, statements, and finding the right context for your project to flourish. The workshop encompasses 4 group sessions of two hours each, as well as 2 individual sessions in which we will work on your materials, develop your ideas on paper and get them ready for the next steps towards production.

Nieuwe Vide is an exhibition space and an artistic community hub that focuses on experimentation and talent development. Today we continue to build on the activist ideals and DIY-mindsets that form the basis of our institution.
We do this through our programme of exhibitions and activities that provide new (inter)national artistic talent with the opportunity to experiment and further develop their artistic practice. In addition, we maintain studio spaces for over 35 local artists. It is our mission to create a space in Haarlem where exciting new art can be developed through experimentation.
