🎬 Greek Film Festival WORKSHOP: Low-Budget Filmmaking as a Method

Filmhuis Cavia, Saturday, May 23 at 03:00 PM GMT+2

By Smaragda Nitsopoulou

Most workshops for independent filmmakers begin with the same unspoken premise: that you are working with less than you should have, and that the goal is to compensate—to fake the look of money you don’t have, to imitate the production values of films made under conditions nothing like yours.

This workshop begins from the opposite premise.

Some of the most precise, intimate, and politically alert cinema of the last fifty years was made deliberately small. Chantal Akerman filmed in her own apartment. Abbas Kiarostami strapped two cameras to a dashboard and dismissed the crew. Harun Farocki refused to show what his film was about, and made that refusal the form.

These are often described as “survival strategies,” but in reality they are formal, ethical, and artistic positions—ones that filmmakers with full financing cannot easily reach.

This is a workshop about learning to occupy that position on purpose. Send your materials before the 17th of May at [email protected].

This workshop is part of the Greek Film Festival program.

The Greek Film Festival in the Netherlands (GRFFNL), exclusively at Filmhuis Cavia and the Kempernaerstudio, is a new cultural initiative dedicated to showcasing Greek cinema to audiences in the Netherlands. The festival presents a curated selection of films by Greek directors, including fiction, documentaries, and other cinematic forms that reflect the diversity and creativity of Greek storytelling.
