Heroic (re)Production community film workshop - 2/4/12 - Saturday

11:00 am - 5:00 pm

Heroic (re)Production community film workshop
led by HUB-BUB Artist-in-Residence Steve Snell
part of the Expecting Goodness Short Film Festival
Saturday, February 4, 11am-5pm
Location: Steve's studio above The Showroom

In this workshop participants will reproduce an exciting and engaging scene from hero-movie history, while learning the production side of creating moving images.  Skills will be covered in lighting, audio, and camera work with ample opportunities for heroic acting.  This will be a day-long workshop, so come for an hour and learn one aspect of the production or stay all day and learn them all.  At the end of the workshop, a video will be cut of all scenes recorded throughout the day of the various acting heroes.  It should be pretty interesting and heroically fun.

 

The Expecting Goodness Short Film Festival is a project involving area filmmakers each using one story from the Hub City Press short story collection Expecting Goodness as inspiration for a 5-10 minute short film.

It's not just 'Old MacDonald' on the farm anymore. All across the U.S. there is a growing movement of educated young people who are leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Armed with college degrees, some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Fed up with corporate America and its influence on a broken food system, they aim to solve some of the current system's inequities by growing clean, fair food. Mostly landless, they borrow, rent or manage farmland in order to fulfill their dreams of doing something meaningful with their lives.     growmovie.net

WASTE LAND
Tuesday, April 17th 7pm (doors open at 6:30)
Admission is Free

Filmed over nearly three years, WASTE LAND follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of “catadores”—self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker and co-directors João Jardim and Karen Harley have great access to the entire process and, in the end, offer stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.   wastelandmovie.com
