WORKSHOP: "FROM THE IMAGINATION TO THE SCREEN"
Our imagination contains fantastic ideas..., but how to transfer them to the screen?
We propose a workshop to become familiar with film language and process and learn how to make a simple fantastic short film.
We’ll start off with Georges Méliès and later, through a series of hands-on exercises, we’ll easily move from idea to script, from script to recording (including special effects), we’ll do the editing and, finally, we’ll finish the workshop with the screening of the audiovisual piece that’s been created.
This workshop will also offer us the knowledge to be able to participate in the 7th Edition of the video competition Participa Méliès (www.participamelies.com).
Duration: 3 Hours
Target: Families with children 7 and up. Children cannot be left alone at the workshop.
Location: Palau del Rei Moro

TALK: "5 TIPS TO WIN THE PARTICIPA MÉLIÈS COMPETITION".
A talk by the organization of the Participa Méliès Competition to present its 7th Edition and offer the keys to success.
We will review the best videos from previous years of the Participa Méliès Competition to see the variety of proposals presented and how trick Photography is used to reinforce short film scripts.
We will also analyze which aspects the jury usually views as the most positive in their deliberation and which can help in the participants’ success.
The competition suggests taking inspiration from Georges Méliès’ legacy and from his trick photography, to make a video with a runtime of less than 3 minutes.
This pioneer in fantastic genre cinema will inspire us to create, with the technological tools at our disposal, an audiovisual project.
We will show you how, sometimes, the imagination can help us overcome technical limitations.
Duration: 45 minutes.
Target: Film schools, film students, debuting filmmakers.
Location: Llevant Room 3 (prior meeting point - Village)
