Lunch and refreshments will be served.

The workshop investigates properties of cinema; its limits and possibilities for experimentation, its relationship to our everyday life. Participants will analyze, deconstruct, and reconstitute elements of existing scenes for the camera, exploring alternative ways of staging narrative, framing and sound. The workshop aims to reflect on the film crew as a social form and the generative potential of scenes independent of plot, development and conclusivity. This will also be a space for exchanging knowledge about different technical aspects of filmmaking and performance. Selections of raw materials, texts, images and audio will later be shared and made available to participants via an online server.

No previous experience with filmmaking is necessary, anyone over 16 can take part. Performers, writers, technicians, students, artists, designers; anyone with a passionate interest or skills in an aspect of scenes are encouraged to participate.

The Institute for Scene Experiments is an institution devoted to the investigation, production and dissemination of scenes. Established in 2022, ISE is a situation for the exchange of knowledge around different technical aspects of filmmaking and performance, working through re-enactments, commissioned text, open rehearsals and collective editing.

The workshop is made possible through a collaboration between Polar Film Lab, PRISMS and Tromsø Kunstforening
