Workshop | From image to story
Publié par Alexis Smouts le Wednesday 25 May 2022
Balimage is pleased to invite you to a workshop around the different methods of filmic writing with non-verbal material. The workshop is organized in the framework of Bildrausch Filmfest Basel.
The workshop will be led by the Argentine duo Luciana Acuña et Alejo Moguillansky. The method of cinematic writing: first the image, then a fiction and finally, at best, an idea. It is the inversion of working with preconceived scripts. The goal of the course is to analyze and explore possible methods of film writing based on non-verbal, non-argumentative material.
Program:
- Part 1 : Lecture with film clips: on works of the duo Acuña / Moguillansky as well as on influences from film history.
- Part 2 : practice | creating and shooting film sequences in the group
- Part 3 : review and analysis of the material produced by the groups

Writers’ workshop: Develop your content and your film ideas!
Publié par Alexis Smouts le Tuesday 24 May 2022
Balimage is pleased to invite you to a workshop on content and story development
Writing a screenplay is a sensitive, sometimes fragile and very personal process.
Long before resorting to the dramaturgical toolbox, the rules of which are handed down in numerous textbooks and courses, it is first of all a matter of confronting one’s own material – and thus oneself – and finding the personal, unique attitude with which one can tell a story and no one else.
What does this mean in concrete terms? What are the steps in developing a story? What are the chances, the risks and the singularities offered to the author? Are there any rules that cannot be deviated from in this work that draws its strength from the freedom of the mind? This workshop will address the benefits of teamwork in this process by asking how teamwork works in this process.
This workshop will be led by Julia Willmann, a long-time screenwriter and professor of content development in Germany (e.g. at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin) and Switzerland (e.g. at the ZHdK). Prior to that, she worked for Arte in Strasbourg for a long time and as a director in Cologne. Julia grew up in Freiburg im Breisgau, studied Romance and German languages and literature as well as media studies in Aix-en-Provence (FR), and then film making in Berlin. She is therefore very familiar with all the regions that make up the Upper Rhine.
Application deadline on June 7th!
Programm
10 a.m. – 12.30 p.m. : Short introduction round (person & film idea) – Exemples of story development talk
12.30 – 13.30 : Lunch
13.30 – 16.30 : Further development of own film idea in groups
16.40 – 17.30 : Exchange in plenum about findings

Workshop “writing about regional content”
Publié par Célia Janus le Thursday 13 January 2022
The CinEuro Upper Rhine project and Balimage are pleased to invite you to the tri-national workshop on writing “regional content” to be held on February 25, 2022 in Basel.
How can regional topics be integrated into films, how can stories be anchored in a region? What are the possibilities offered by the trinational Upper Rhine region, on the border between France, Germany and Switzerland?
This is what author Jan Galli (Freiburg i. Br./Berlin, among others author of the series “Bad Banks”), director Max Disbeaux (Strasbourg, author of the film “Fessenheim 75”), historian and ethnologist Markus Moehring (Director of the “Dreiland” museum) and journalist Peter Schenk will show you.
Program:
Part 1: “Reading” a region, identifying materials, stories and locations.
Part 2: Example “Fessenheim 75”, a feature film in development with a regional topic and an international theme
Part 3: The practice of experimentation: can “my” regional story reach people beyond the region? How to write universaly about local events?
The workshop is bilingual (German/French) with interpretation. Limited number of participants.
