Aristoteles Workshop 2014
From 21 August to 21 September 2014 in Vama, in the region of Bukovina in
Romania, the 9th edition of the Aristoteles documentary workshop, supported by
ARTE France and the Romanian National Centre of Cinematography, will take place.
After examining around sixty applications, twelve young professionals were retained,
from Romania, Hungary, Moldavia, Russia and Slovenia.
7
Receiving advice from tutors, the four comprised teams wrote and directed four very
different documentary films, dealing with the following characters: a young boy waiting
for his father to return, an elderly couple recounting with a great deal of tenderness
and nostalgia their joint life of 60 years, a gang of young teenagers enjoying
themselves at a lively party, and finally, a “portrait gallery”, filmed at the main
crossroads of the town of Vama: lumberjacks heading to work in the morning,
mushroom sellers, and discussions at the bar, etc.
This year, the Prize was awarded to the film: Just the Two of us by a jury made up of
personalities from the Romanian audiovisual sector, as well as Simon Brook (director,
filmmaker), Agnès Wildenstein (Associate Programmer at the Lisbon Doc Lab),
Wessel van der Hammen (IDFA Consultant / the Netherlands) and Jean-François
Pellier from the ARTE France Department of International Relations.
A team of trainees shooting their film in Vama in Romania
The film, directed by Nina Blazin (Slovenia), and assisted by Aron Palfi-Horvath
(Hungary) for the photography and Raluca Petre (Romania) for the editing, features with a great deal of sensitivity, humour and complicity - the life of an old couple who go
back over 60 years of their life spent together, giving their personal accounts of all
sorts of memories.
Finally, we must mention the fine career paths of several pupils of previous editions of
the Aristoteles workshop, who have since directed their first feature-length
documentary (Ivana Mladenovic with Turn off the Lights, Letitjia Stefanescu with
Aliyah DaDa, Julia Matei with Fifteen Zero Thirty, and Gregory Brzozovski, who is
about to finish, in Poland, Stranger on my Couch). It is worth noting that many films
made during the Aristoteles Workshops go on to be selected in several European
festivals, such as the IDFA, the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, and Visions du Réel,
etc.
