WORKSHOP PROGRAM
The workshop will take place in Vizzini from August 7 till 12; arrival on august 6 within h. 8.00 p.m. and departure on august 13.
Obiettivo Granieri and Neos Bedis will be glad to greet all the participants with a welcoming dinner in Vizzini on the evening of august 6 at 9.00 p.m.: the perfect opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.
During the stay in Vizzini, our point of reference and meeting point will be Palazzo Trao Ventimiglia, in via Santa Maria dei Greci, in the historical center of the city.
It will be the staff center, where every day we will have lectures, discussions, critiques of the work, which will follow to the time devoted to shooting, but the daily program is flexible in order to satisfy everyone's needs (both students and teachers). We will have dinner every night together; the places will be decided day by day.
The workshop will last 6 intensive days and on the last night of the course (thursday 12 of august at 9.00 p.m.) there will be a projection of the selected work of the participants at Palazzo Trao Ventimiglia in Vizzini, which will be open to the public.
