Laida Lertxundi, an AZ associated artist since January 2021, launches her project "8 Encounters", a project that consists of eight collaborative workshops and shootings that will result in a 16 mm work.
Description:
“8 Encuentros” is conceived as an ephemeral school that combines pedagogical practices with the dismantling of the production processes of a film to create something new. Eight workshops and collaborative filming that will result in a work in 16 mm.
Each encounter is made up of two parts: the first of them consists of a workshop that will be held with a guest artist and will take place in Azkuna Zentroa’s spaces. The second part will take place in the mountains of Bizkaia.
These mountains will incorporate scores and exercises composed by a variety of artists and writers, in an attempt to rethink the ‘making of the film’ as a joint performance within a natural environment, as well as a pedagogical experiment outside the confines of academic institutions.
Each of the eight summits will consider a specific process within the phases of traditional film production (location, interpretation, script, soundtrack, production, camera, lighting and editing), resignifying them to transform them into a specific set of ideas and parameters with which to create a work of moving pictures.
