LET’S CEE-Master Classes

LET’S CEE Master Classes

The LET’S CEE Film Festival aspires to be more than just a film festival. It also aims to be a forum for initiating, promoting and supporting international cooperation between filmmakers from the CEE regions, Austria and other countries. One of our main goals is the advancement of promising talent from Austria and Central and Eastern Europe. The LET’S CEE Film Festival will give these talented young filmmakers the unique opportunity to exchange ideas with the greats of the filmmaking scene during the Q&As after each screening and to broaden their knowledge by participating in our Workshops and Master Classes. These events, as well as the exclusive Get Together events, provide the chance to get in touch with new people, laying the groundwork for cooperation and the development of new projects.

The new LET’S CEE Master Classes will premiere at this year’s LET’S CEE Film Festival. The Master Classes are organised in close cooperation with the renowned Adrzej Wajda School in Warsaw, supported by the European training programme EKRAN. Selected aspects of the European training programme EKRAN will be presented in three Workshops consisting of entertaining and highly informative three- to five-hour modules. Each module will include the screening of one film by the respective filmmaker. The LET’S CEE & EKRAN Master Classes will be led by the exceptional film director Alexander Sokurov from Russia, Polish Oscar winner and production designer Allan Starski and Polish film director and co-founder of the Wajda Film School Wojciech Marczewski.

Other renowned guests of the festival, such as producer and filmmaker Blerta Zeqiri from the Republic of Kosovo, Bosnian rock legend and film score composer Saša Lošić as well as the highly successful Slovenian film director Damjan Kozole will also allow an insight into their work in a unique and personal atmosphere.

Detailed information on the Workshops will be available on the festival’s website from mid-July. Participation in the LET’S CEE Master Classes (held in English language) is subject to a fee, with considerable discounts for students.
