OPEN CALL: Kunstinstituut Melly x IFFR — CLIP 2023
Will you join our CLIP program from March 2023 to June 2023?
What is CLIP?
Collective learning in practice (CLIP) is organized by Kunstinstituut Melly and this year in collaboration with International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
CLIP was developed in 2018, this year the fifth edition will take place with the aim of ensuring lasting change in the institution together through inclusiveness and a collective learning environment. We learn and grow together!
This educational project offers eight to ten young people from Rotterdam between the ages of 17 and 24 with an mbo educational background the space to tell stories. This year, participants will explore and ultimately present history stories and storytelling in relation to filmmaking. They will do this through formative sessions and practical training. In addition, the participants receive a salary for their participation.
Kunstinstituut Melly and IFFR have appointed filmmaker Uriël Matahelumual who will contribute to the development and supervision by exchanging his knowledge and skills about film and film making with the participants.
What can you expect?
We start the concept from the research question: How do stories make us move?
During this project we ask you to bring your own chosen grandparent, elderly relative and/or acquaintance of 60 years or older for an interview during four sessions. The chosen family member receives a fee per interview session attended.
You will work and learn how we have conversations with our elders and apply this in an artistic environment.
Cool workshops, masterclasses and training courses are provided by IFFR and Kunstinstituut Melly in collaboration with external professionals.
The result of the project is a film script written by you and the rest of the participants, which will be further developed by Uriel Matahelumual in collaboration with the group into a short film that will be released in early 2024.
Practical information
In the period from March 3 to June 17, 2023, a total of 16 weeks, we will work on this project for two hours every Friday and Saturday.
The schedule for these days is:
Friday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
