Workshop Program of the Resistance Film Festival Announced; From Zarrin-Dast to Tabrizi

According to Mehr News Agency , citing the public relations of the event, at the 19th International Resistance Film Festival, 18 specialized workshops have been planned with the aim of transferring experience, enhancing cinematic knowledge and creating opportunities for interaction among enthusiasts, students and professional cinema practitioners.

These workshops cover a diverse range of specialized cinema topics, including directing, cinematography, film music, documentary filmmaking, animation, screenwriting, poster design, participation in international festivals, and the application of artificial intelligence in producing cinematic works.

Given the technological developments and the growing role of artificial intelligence in the cinema industry, and the allocation of a special section to this field at the festival, the subject of artificial intelligence will have a special place in the educational programs of this edition.

In the specialized workshops section, Alireza Zarrin-Dast in the field of cinematography and Kamal Tabrizi in the field of directing will share their experience.

Also, Masoud Sakhavatdoust in the field of film music, Mohsen Eslamzadeh in the field of documentary filmmaking with an emphasis on documentary filmmaking in crisis conditions, and Mohammad Sarshar in the field of animation, intellectual property design and defining animation projects, will hold specialized workshops.

Continuing these programs, Mohammad Taghipour, in the film poster design workshop, will examine the place of the poster as part of the visual identity and independent narrative of a cinematic work. Omid Moallem will also explain the criteria and requirements for preparing cinematic works for participation in world festivals.

In the artificial intelligence section, Mehdi Badavi and Fatemeh Sayyareh, practitioners in this field whose works have been presented at various festivals, will present their experiences and examine the capacities of this technology in producing cinematic works.

Also, screenwriting workshops will be held with the presence of Hadi Moghaddamdoust and Ebrahim Amini.

The educational workshops of the 19th International Resistance Film Festival will be held from Friday, October 30, to Wednesday, November 4, at the Festival House.

These programs are designed in the form of three 90-minute sessions centered on advanced experience transfer, and the exact time of each workshop and its corresponding hall will be announced subsequently.

In planning these workshops, efforts have been made so that the times of the educational sessions do not interfere with the screenings of the festival's main films. Accordingly, the time span of 14:00 to 19:30 has been considered for holding the educational programs, so that enthusiasts can benefit from both the workshops and the screenings of cinematic works.

Registration for the specialized workshops is done exclusively through the festival's official website, and given the limited capacity of the workshops, the details of registration and the schedule will be announced through this website. Special discounts have been considered for students and practitioners in the fields of cinema and media. Also, participants who register for more than 12 workshops will receive a special discount.

In addition, for individuals who attend more than 12 workshops, a certificate of participation has been envisaged in cooperation with the Shahid Avini Faculty of Art and Media and the IRIB University.
