About
Architecture at the Edge and Copenhagen Architecture Festival have partnered up to organize a film & architecture workshop in response to the AATE23 thematic provocation of ‘re-mapping’, focusing on filmmaking and environmentally conscious, socially inclusive design, architecture and urban planning.
PROGRAM
During the one-week program, through lectures, group exercises and guided explorations of Galway, we invite participants to response to the AATE23 thematic provocation of ‘re-mapping’. Participants are introduced to practices of investigative observation, archival research, and new ways of mapping the city - interrogating issues of land ownership, material extraction, environmental, ecological and physical qualities of the landscape but as well considering the human interactions, the convivial strategies of resistance created by citizens, and apply this knowledge to create your own short film documenting or addressing design solutions found in the built, grown and/or planned environment of Galway city.
Aided by experimental, tactical and speculative methodologies, we will explore the urban environment through multiple scales - at the scale of the body, the object, the building, the urban, and the territory.
After developing the concept for your film in the first sessions with the guidance of international guest lectures, you will explore the process of filmmaking, gaining concrete knowledge about organizing, filming and editing your work, as well as creating a relevant, dramaturgically well-functioning story. Professional filmmakers and editors, Conor Horgan, Treasa O’Brien, Connie Farrell and others, will instruct you and assist you in the production of a maximum 3-minute-long film.
The course is open to anyone interested in the intersection of film and architecture - students and professionals alike, with a background in a relevant field of film, visual arts, photography, architecture, design, urban planning, anthropology, ethnology, social sciences and humanities. Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of film production.
All the films produced during the workshop will be premiered at the PALAS cinema on Saturday 07th October at 16:30pm
