Inspiration - that sometimes elusive, but fundamentally necessary spark to fire the beginning of any creative project. What do filmmakers do, or where do they look to get inspired? And once an idea has taken hold, how is it then turned into a plan, and action?
True to tradition Amsterdam film theater Rialto and Binger Filmlab present an inspired evening's screening and conversation with international filmmakers developing their feature film projects in the Binger's Script Development Program.
On January 13, Australian screenwriter and journalist Matthew Curlewis will coax three filmmakers into sharing a few of their secrets about where they find inspiration. Paola Morabito (Australia), Adrian Sitaru (Romania) and Barney Elliott (US) will each show one of their prizewinning short films, and by also showing some excerpts from other films that inspired them, give some insight into the creative choices they made.
The short films are respectively My Sister and I (2006, shortlisted Cannes Film Festival 2007), Waves (2007, Golden Leopard Locarno Film Festival, Official Selection Sundance Film Festival), and True Colors (2006, shown at festivals worldwide, won ao The Special Jury Prize of Premiers Plans Film Festival in France).
Inspiration Night is for film lovers, and anyone else curious about creativity. Audience discussion and interaction will be warmly encouraged.
