NBF & The Academy present: ''Dutch ACES seminar"

Due to the great success of the first ACES seminar in 2013, with and by the driving force behind ACES, Jim Houston, the NBF is organizing a follow-up seminar during the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht on September 29, by popular demand. ACES has become the industry standard over the past two years. There are virtually no companies left that do not use or support ACES. While the first seminar was primarily intended to introduce ACES, this follow-up focuses on the practical use of ACES: what are the do's and don'ts on set and in post-production? Speakers In collaboration with The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, we are delighted to welcome award-winning and widely acclaimed DOP Theo van de Sande as the keynote speaker. He will delve deeper into ACES in practice on the film set. Additionally, renowned colorist and ACES expert Dado Valentic (UK) will give a presentation on the aspects of ACES during post-production What is ACES? ACES is a standardized approach; it is a new way of handling color in the filming, creation, viewing, and processing of digital film files. ACES guarantees creators that the colors will always be the same, despite many different production methods. Today, ACES is applied in leading film industries around the world. Who is the seminar for? The presentations are of a high technical level and are of interest to producers and directors as well as DOPs, lighting technicians, and assistants. Additionally, for editors, VFX, and colorists. Introduction to ACES-related products To better demonstrate what ACES means in practice, various products ready for use with ACES will be shown in the hall before and after the program. This provides an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the latest techniques and packages from leading players in the market. Program 19:00 – 20:00 Walk-in drinks and opportunity to get acquainted with ACES-related products 20:00 – 22:00 Program 22:00 – 23:00 Drinks and opportunity to get acquainted with ACES-related products What: Dutch ACES Seminar – the sequel When: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 Where: Cloud Nine Hall, Tivoli Vredenburg, Vredenburgkade 11, Utrecht Costs: NBF members free, non-members €25 (including 4 drink vouchers), students €10 (tickets) Tickets for the seminar can be purchased via this link: https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/tickets-nbf-the-academy-of-motion-pictures-presenteren-dutch-aces-seminar-the-sequel-met-theo-van-de-sande-18531334721.

Ricky Rijneke selected for the Toronto Talent Lab

RICKY RIJNEKE selected for Toronto Talent Lab Filmmaker Ricky Rijneke is the first Dutch woman invited to the prestigious Toronto Talent Lab, an artistic development program taking place during the Toronto International Film Festival from September 10–20. Each year, the Toronto Talent Lab selects only ten new international talents from all continents and ten young Canadian filmmakers. The Lab has appointed 'Governors', prominent film professionals who act as mentors. This year's 'Governors' are director Wim Wenders and American producer Jim Stark. Participants can also meet with renowned filmmakers to discuss their projects and focus on the artistic and substantive aspects of filmmaking. Guest speakers include Stephan Frears, Claire Denis, Christopher Doyle, Jia Zhang-Ke, and Agnieszka Holland. Rijneke is going to Toronto with her new feature film project, The Hunter's Son. With this project, she was also selected for the intensive 8-month Script&Pitch training at Torino FilmLab 2015. The Hunter's Son is produced by Rotterdam Films in co-production with, among others, France. The Hunter's Son is Ricky Rijneke's second feature film project. She made an international name for herself with her first short film, Wing, the fish that talked back, and her award-winning feature film debut, Silent Ones, for which she brought together a host of award-winning European talent. Silent Ones was nominated for the Tiger Award competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. This was followed by a triumphant tour of many international festivals, including Moscow, Sarajevo, Sao Paulo, Montreal, and Rio de Janeiro. The film was nominated a total of twelve times and won eight international awards, including in New York, Toronto, Berlin, and Los Angeles. Talent Lab Governor and producer Jim Stark (including a number of films by Jim Jarmusch) about Silent Ones: “With gorgeous visual imagery and an elliptical but very poetic story, her debut film Silent Ones has earned Ricky Rijneke a place among Europe's best young up and coming directors.” Silent Ones appeared in Dutch cinemas in December 2014 and was unanimously praised by the national press. Het Volkskrant 2014 Year in Review included Silent Ones in the list of 'Best Dutch Films': “a dreamscape that is unprecedented in Dutch Cinema”.

Animation and interaction in documentary

Een documentaire-dag met lezingen over animatie en interactie in en bij documentaires, feedback op de documentaireplannen en de vertoning van de bijzondere, interactieve Submarine productie Last Hijack. Deze dag wordt je aangeboden door Cinesud, DocFest en Zuyd Hogeschool. Stijl en inhoud De manier waarop in documentaires verhalen worden verteld verandert. De manier waarop we ze ervaren ook. Tijdens deze dag willen we je aan de hand van twee prikkelende lezingen m.b.t. concrete cases, de viewing van een bijzondere (interactieve) documentaire en gerichte feedback op je eigen idee (vernieuwende) inzichten geven in hoe je je verhaal en visie kunt verbeelden in een documentaire. Er zijn talloze mogelijkheden. Hisko Hulsing is een animatieregisseur, schilder, illustrator, storyboardtekenaar en componist. Hulsing's korte animatiefilms worden wereldwijd op filmfestivals, internet en televisie vertoond. Zijn laatste korte film Junkyard won 25 internationale prijzen, was de Nederlandse inzending voor de Oscars en werd genomineerd voor een gouden kalf. Voor de Amerikaanse documentaire Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck van Brett Morgen maakte hij in zijn stijl twee lange animatiesequenties met zijn 18-koppige team animators. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck is wereldwijd uitgebracht in de bioscopen door Universal Pictures. HBO zond de film uit in mei 2015. De film is genomineerd voor 7 Emmy awards. Hisko Hulsing's stijl kenmerkt zich doordat zijn duistere, realistische olieverfschilderijen de basis vormen van de animatie. In zijn lezing zal hij met beeld- en geluidmateriaal alle aspecten van zijn animatietechnieken bespreken en verslag doen over zijn samenwerking met Brett Morgen. Remco Vlaanderen van Submarine zal een lezing geven over Last Hijack, een interactief documentaireproject met een bijzondere vorm en bijzondere inhoud. Vlaanderen zal onder andere ingaan op algemene zaken zoals het financieringstraject, de pr en distributie, maar er is ook speciale aandacht voor de totstandkoming van de animatiestijl van Last Hijack, welke vandaag ook wordt vertoond. Fredrik Nicolai van Off World zal een vooruitblik geven op de interactieve documentaire Archibelge. De televisieserie Archibelge heeft de kijker een goed idee gegeven hoe het Belgische architecturale landschap eruit ziet. Nergens anders ter wereld als in België kom je deze bizarre en intrigerende vorm van urbanisatie tegen. Of beter geformuleerd: elk gebrek aan urbanisatie. Na de lunchpauze is er gelegenheid om in één-op-één gesprekken met deskundige documentairemakers en professionals (zoals Erik van Drunen en Marc Schmidt) je idee te toetsen en, naast de input uit de lezingen van de ochtend, te voorzien van extra lagen en diepte. Het is de bedoeling dat je na afloop van de één-op-één sessies kort je bevindingen die je hebt opgedaan presenteert, zodat ook de andere aanwezigen hier iets aan kunnen hebben. We sluiten de dag af met een borrel. Na afloop hiervan ben je vanzelfsprekend van harte welkom tijdens de officiële openingsavond van het festival. Het programma 09.30 - 10.30 uur: lezing Hisko Hulsing 10.45 - 11.15 uur: lezing Remco Vlaanderen (Submarine) 11.30 - 13.00 uur: vertoning Last Hijack 13.00 - 14.00 uur: lunch 14.00 - 16.00 uur: één op één sessies met vakprofessionals waarin je feedback kunt krijgen op je docu-idee. In een andere zaal zijn lezingen door regionale documentairemakers 16.00 uur: borrel (De tijd waarop Fredrik Nicolai (Offworld) een lezing zal verzorgen wordt spoedig bekend gemaakt.) Schuif na de borrel gezellig aan op de hoofdlocatie van het festival in de foodgarden en kom naar de gratis openingsfilm! Aanmelden Kosten voor deze totale dag bedragen €45 inclusief lunch en twee consumpties. Vooraf aanmelden is verplicht. Als je feedback wilt op een plan, gelieve dit expliciet aan te geven in het opmerkingenveld tijdens het aanmeldproces.
