The teenagers of Bucharest, aged between 15 – 18, passionate about photography and film, are invited to the first edition of GoBucharest visual education workshop.
The sign-up to the first stage of the workshop –GoBucharest Photography Contest – are held between 15 June - 11 July
. The young ones interested in the program must send 10 photos with Bucharest seen through their own eyes. The pictures may capture streets, people, parks, squares, neighbourhoods, blocks of flats or other images that inspired them and conveyed a story. The 10 photos have to be sent to concurs@gobucharest.eu. 15 teenagers will be selected, who will take part to the first edition of GoBucharest visual education workshop.
The GoBucharest workshop will be held between 22 August - 4 September. The 15 selected teenagers from Bucharest will take part to an intensive training, following which they will produce 15 documentary shorts on discovering Bucharest from an artistic, personal standpoint. They will pass through all the stages of making a cinema production, benefiting from the expertise of professionals from the artistic and cultural world, such as directors of photography
Vivi Drăgan Vasile and
Tudor Lucaciu, editor
Cătălin Cristuțiu and director
Vlad Petri. The shorts resulted following the visual education workshop aim at capitalising upon the Bucharest cultural identity, and will be screened at a special GoBucharest Gala, to take place during the second half of September. The 15 shorts will be made available for viewing on the platform
www.gobucharest.eu.
“This project sets out to encourage young people to discover through artistic means an European capital city, to give a personal interpretation to Bucharest, from things and people they see on a daily basis, to new places they are to discover during the project. In the same time, GoBucharest aims at training an informed audience as regards the cinema, and at finding out potential new young talents,” Eugen Matei Lumezianu, project initiator, stated.
The GoBucharest visual education workshop is a cultural project financed within the Cultural Programme Bucharest – The In-Visible City, being organised by 111 Film & Entertainment, with the support of Bucharest Municipality School Inspectorate.
