The first Cross-border Film School
for advanced filmmaking training has officially opened in
Gorizia as part of the BorGo Cinema project. The school aims to
provide participants with comprehensive screenwriting,
producing, and directing training.
The program is curated by Cross-border Film School, chaired by
director Ivan Gergolet, Matteo Oleotto, and Davide Del Degan,
and casting director and creative producer Antonella Perrucci.
The international call for selection attracted over 300
expressions of interest from Europe, resulting in 133 formal
applications. Fifteen participants from 6 European countries
(Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary, and Portugal) have
been selected for the first training year.
The master of photography in cinema, Dante Spinotti, a native
of Carnia, Friuli, christened the activity. Spinotti is also a
member of the school's faculty, which includes various field
professionals, such as screenwriter Maurizio Braucci. The
school's activities will involve creating video portraits of
significant figures from the cross-border area.
Towards the end of the course, the participants will present
their projects to a group of international producers. The best
project will be made into a short film, which the entire group
of students will work on, covering all stages from
pre-production (casting, location scouting) to production
(shooting) and post-production. The short film will be presented
in film circuits and industry festivals as a culmination of the
training.
