SHIVERING SKIN, SHARPENING GAZE

Film criticism workshop
13. 4. – 17. 4. / Application deadline: 25. 3.

Are you a fan of the bloody, the fleshy, the horrifically weird and the dreadfully chilling? Chainsaws and abandoned mansions with disfigured faces? Do you like the feel of your skin crawling, cold fingers and a lump in your throat?

At this year’s Kurja polt festival, KINO! Film Society conducts a free-of-charge film criticism workshop entitled Shivering Skin, Sharpening Gaze for youth aged 18 and above. Participants’ daily meetings will take place in the pleasantly thrilling festival atmosphere at the Slovenian Cinematheque. The viewings of selected genre treats will be followed by in-depth discussions and examinations of the specifics and subversions of genre cinema, preparing the participants for their own writing. Texts will be honed through one-to-one discussions with the mentor, who will provide constructive criticism, comments and guidelines. We will also be joined by festival guests and members of the festival team. All finished critiques will be published on Kurja polt and KINO!websites, with a selection of contributions featured in KINO! magazine.
The workshop will be conducted by Dr. Maja Krajnc, editor-in-chief of KINO! magazine, with the assistance of Anja Banko and Gašper Markun.

Please send your applications to ostrenje.pogleda@gmail.com, no later than 25 March.
