The first step to making a film is usually the script. The great thing about it is that you don't actually need much besides paper and pen (or maybe a computer...). Nevertheless, of course, writing a screenplay doesn't happen by itself...

In an initial four-hour input workshop we will Explore the question of what is special about this type of writing. Together you will read a script, watch the corresponding film and write your first scenes and dialogues.
The finished script texts will be publicly exhibited as part of the Young Short Film Festival Hamburg together with a reading. All course participants receive a festival pass.

The course is an event organized by the LAG Jugend und Film Hamburg and will be held in cooperation with the federal association Youth and Movie eV, promoted from means of Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and organized by youth.

Cyanotype is an old and fascinating technique for creating photos without a camera - so-called photograms. Objects and plants are placed directly on light-sensitive paper and exposed under a UV lamp and then washed and fixed in tap water. Plants or small objects with delicate silhouettes and interesting shapes as well as materials that are slightly transparent are particularly suitable as objects. The technique is non-toxic and does not involve chemicals.

With the cyanotype we return to the origins of film and, at the same time, convey a piece of media history. The Hamburg photographer Katrin Brunnhofer introduces the participants to this ancient art form and lets them work independently. The resulting “prints” will be exhibited directly in the festival center.

In addition, the workshop is led by a Translator for German Sign Language accompanied so that children with hearing impairments can also take part in the offer without barriers. 

Please register for the workshop by May 20th to anmelde@shortfilm.com

Shadow play is much older than cinema itself, but it works with the same means: light, darkness and a projection surface.

In our shadow play workshop, participants can experiment with the technique of shadow theater. On mYou can experiment with your own shadow on several canvases, expanded by Costumes or masks made of cardboard, fabric and tracing paper.

The children's shadow play is filmed from the back of the screen and then edited into a small film, which will later be published on the Mo&Friese website.

In addition to two film agents Translator for German Sign Language reliably supervise the workshop station and help the children create the shadow templates.
