Registration to the EU film schools workshop “Summer Media studio” begins! Project supported by “MEDIA Training” program.
From June 20th to July 4th, 2014, students from the EU film and media high schools, in collaboration with professional lecturers, are going to gather in one of the most beautiful natural areas in the Baltic countries – the Curonian Spit, Lithuania – for the 16th time. Registration to one of the most anticipated workshops for young film makers in the region has already started. All film and media students from the EU countries are able to apply to the „Summer Media Studio“ workshop. During the two weeks the participants will have the opportunity to attend theoretical training, manage film projects, consult with the best experts and make films using the latest shooting, audio and editing equipment. The main topic of this year’s “Summer Media Studio” workshop is „Producer in Film“. 10 internationally formed teams will develop ideas for documentary and experimental films during the two weeks of workshops. They are going to learn how to reconcile the creative ideas and opportunities in order to realize them. Experienced tutors will introduce participants to major film producing and production rules. Participants of the “Summer Media Studio” workshop will gain deeper knowledge about film financing, distribution and film selling strategies. The main porpose of this training – to unite young film makers from different countries for collective educational and creative activities – has been in place for some time. But each year because of tutors, participants and creative challenges, the “Summer Media Studio” workshop is unique and one of its kind. “Year by year this workshop is getting bigger and better – last year students from 25 different schools in 12 different EU countries attended the workshop” – says the head of the “Summer Media Studio” Inesa Kurklietytė. “Summer Media Studio” is organized by the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. The project is supported by “MEDIA Training”, Lithuanian Council for Culture and the Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Science.
