This Friday a meeting called "Personal stories - how to show inner experiences on the screen?" with the participation of our graduate and lecturer Bartosz Konopka will take place. The meeting will be on February 26 at 20:00 on the Facebook profile of (link) Papaya Young Directors.

The best stories are the ones we can relate to. They evoke emotions in us and leave a mark on our memory. These stories usually come from the artist's own life, but presenting them on the screen is a big art. Even for experienced directors, transferring the whole range of experienced emotions, a multitude of thoughts or perceived smells to paper, and then to individual frames in the film, is a difficult task. How to show inner agitation? How to present anger without screaming, despair without a tear, joy without a smile? How to engage the viewer in a story about experiences without spectacular explosions or breathtaking special effects?

Bartosz Konopka, a director (including the Oscar-nominated "Rabbit a la Berlin"), film expert and academic lecturer, will answer all these questions and reveal which techniques to use to present your inner experiences on the screen.

Film School Krzysztof Kieślowski of the University of Silesia in Katowice is the educational partner of the 8th edition of the Papaya Young Directors competition. The meeting takes place as part of our cooperation.
