Film.factory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In February 2013, the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology opened the first session of film.factory.[1] This is a three-year doctoral course set up by the Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr within the Sarajevo Film Academy, with the involvement of many independent filmmakers from around the world.[2]
The program comprises three main activities. The first consists of practical work in the form of workshops.[3] The second consists of intensive weeks with one or two filmmakers from around the world. The third activity involves the production of short films and a feature film. Critic Jonathan Rosenbaum shares his experience of participating in film.factory.[4] The first students graduated in 2016. There were seven of them, and they founded the BISTRIK7 collective to continue working together.[5] The film factory project ended in 2017.[6]
