Regulations
Framework
The European Network for Film Discourse (The END) and short film magazine Talking Shorts are organising the 5th edition of the European Workshop for Film Criticism: two week-long workshop sessions for aspiring film critics set during short film festivals in Lago, Italy (LFF, July 2024) and Ljubljana, Slovenia (FeKK, August 2024).
Both workshop units will explore short film criticism and festival coverage in a variety of formats. In Lago, participants will work on the fundamentals of writing a film review, strengthening their texts and skills through individual exercises and group discussions. At FeKK, the focus will move away from written criticism to embrace audiovisual practices instead. Participants will be mentored on the art of video essays, and will work on their own, which they’ll submit at the end of the festival.Participants will receive 1:1 editorial guidance from the workshop’s tutor and guest mentors all through the workshops, and a selection of the texts and clips they’ll craft will be published on Talking Shorts.
The workshops will be held in English. There will be tasks before each workshop and additional editing in between or after the workshop tandem.
