Originally I had a different idea, but when I started filming it I didn’t like the way it looked, so I had to start over and over. There was this song which kept playing in my head, so during one of the takes I just started to sing along. This made me change the wholeContinue reading “Final Film”

We must remember that of all the arts the most important for us is the cinema We must make films about the most important art We must choose what is the most important for us ourselves We must not ignore other forms of art We must always explore new topics We must look for newContinue reading “Artist Manifesto”

This course has not only given me a lot of practical knowledge, but also made me think about what my future as a filmmaker is going to be like. I thought about a couple of things I want to focus on in the nearest future. First of all, I want to explore new topics forContinue reading “Self-Reflection”

In my final experimental piece I am planning to explore the Kuleshov Experiment, but on the Twin Screen. I want to film my face with different emotions and contrast them to the variety of visuals in order to evoke feelings in the viewers, very much like Kuleshov. I am planning to use contrasting imagery suchContinue reading “Idea for the Twin-Screen”

These are some of the themes I want to expand on in my Artist Manifesto: I want to explore new topics for film-making I want to learn unconventional editing techniques I want to work with real people rather than actors I want to collaborate with other film directors I want to grow and learn fromContinue reading “Artist Manifesto Ideas”

As the theme of this piece is Personal, I’ve filmed my family. This is one day inside our house. My parents decided to glue decorative molding to the lard and then we had tomatos for dinner. I didn’t ask them to act or say anything specific, I was just following them with a camera. SoContinue reading “Personal”

By this film I wanted to draw attention to the International Women’s Day and it’s obscured meaning. Women should be treated respectfully every day of the year. Instead, it seems like men treat it as a way to distract women from the ongoing misogyny and sexism. The image of a burning poster with ‘Rights forContinue reading “Politics”

These are the pictures from our trip to Picasso’s exhibition. There were only 1 or 2 of his well known art works (which I knew, at least), however, there was a wide variety of different styles and techniques he experimented with throughout his lifetime. It was interesting to watch his painting style changing with differentContinue reading “Picasso”

In this film I wanted to highlight the message that one’s body is not porn. People should learn to look at each other’s bodies without over sexualising them. That’s why I use body images against the visuals of eyes to remind that we don’t see things as they are – we see things as weContinue reading “Body”

For this experimental film I got my inspiration from day cycles – how day becomes night and light becomes darkness. The darkness reveals some extra details, which are invisible during daytime. At night everything becomes more noticeable, we become more emotional – this is what I wanted to portray via image metaphors. The video wasContinue reading “Light”
