Target audience: Beginners
This two-part seminar with Fitore Muzaqi teaches the practical basics of directing – from posture, communication and decision-making to the collaboration of different trades on set. Using a film scene as a basis, you will develop your own staging and resolution concepts and receive feedback on them, as well as input on directing the actors. Building on this, you will begin practical collaboration with the actors and actresses. During rehearsals and on set, the interplay between direction, acting and cinematography will be explored and reflected upon in a safe environment. The focus here is on respectful collaboration amongst all those involved, in order to facilitate a shift in perspective and to enable you to find and consolidate your own directorial stance.
The seminar is being held in collaboration with the Bennohaus in Münster.
Fitore Muzaqi was born in Kosovo and lives in Cologne, where she works as a screenwriter and director. She studied serial storytelling at the International Film School Cologne. She has already worked on various documentary and fictional formats as a director, screenwriter and creative producer. Through her interdisciplinary work in the arts, and in both fictional and documentary film, she is familiar with the different approaches to various formats. She is currently working on her debut film in various writers’ rooms. In 2022, she won the CIVIS Medienpreis together with the COSMO Redaktion for the serialised documentary format ‘Meine Narbe’.
