Convocatoria abierta para taller de cine: Estambul Express

Desde Nisi Masa central nos llega esta convocatoria que tiene una pinta más que apetecible. Como suele ser habitual en estas actividades, el dossier está en inglés porque los interesados deberán manejarse con soltura en este idioma.

Resumiendo un poco, se trata de un taller internacional de cine a bordo de un tren, que tiene como punto de partida San Sebastián y que llegará hasta Estambul. Toda la ruta se convierte en una locación.

El dossier de prensa lo pueden encontrar AQUÍ.

ISTANBUL EXPRESS

3 Trains, 24 Cities, 10920 km of railway

Istanbul Express: Exploring Multilingualism across Europe is a filmmaking workshop aiming to explore common issues about languages. Participants aged 18 - 30 will answer these questions in a stimulating atmosphere, far away from clichés and preconceived ideas. They will meet locals from stopover cities, travellers in the train. They will see the cultural differences with their own eyes during these long trips. Crossing the multiple borders and experiencing different linguistic situations first-hand may be the best way to understand them.

15 films will be made in 3 weeks on the trains and 1 week in Istanbul

Film crews will meet in Tallinn (Estonia), San Sebastian (Spain) and Turin (Italy) on the 20th of September, starting the journey and finally arriving Istanbul on the 10th of October. The trains will travel through Europe and stopping at the following cities:

* Tallinn / Helsinki / Turku / Stockholm / Berlin / Prague / Bratislava / Bucharest / Istanbul
* San Sebastian / Paris / Brussels / Amsterdam / Essen / Vienna / Budapest / Sofia / Istanbul
* Turin / Ljubljana / Zagreb / Pecs / Belgrad / Skopje / Thessaloniki / Istanbul
