About
With support from Ghetto Film School, The Village Voice, Brooklyn Brewery and the Roger Smith Hotel’s patronage to the arts, the Roger Smith Shorts ‘09 (Festival Workshop) was conceived. The concept was envisioned as a collaboration of creativity and ingenuity among visual storytellers and those who form the structure behind it.
During this inaugural workshop, six hand-selected emerging directors will be given the opportunity to interact with panelists, industry professionals, and each other as they live at the Roger Smith Hotel.
Each filmmaker will be given five days, access to actors and assistants, and a maximum of three crewmembers. Throughout the course of the week, workshop filmmakers and Ghetto Film School fellows will participate in daily panels and discussions. Workshop events range in topic from scriptwriting, casting, and all aspects of production to publicity & public relations, business & legal affairs and film finance.
Unique to our program, filmmakers are required to create their short films entirely within the confines of the Roger Smith Hotel.

Just got them in the mail this morning. Hopefully they aren't too small. I have to get the hang of what millimetres translates to visually; this is the second time ice gotten eyes that might be too small.

Acting Truthfully Under the Circumstances*
Feiko Beckers, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Jacopo Miliani, Timothy Ivison and Julia Tcharfas, Rehana Zaman
PV 13 November, 7 to 9pm with performance by Feiko Beckers
Exhibition 14 November to 20 December 2014
*Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances is the title of a video installation by Anja Kirschner and David Panos, exploring the acting exercises developed by renowned actor and teacher Sanford Meisner.
The exhibition considers artworks that use the structure of the stage and certain conventions of scriptwriting as a framework for investigations into relationships, social interactions, and political ecologies.
Taking theatre as an open ended process with its multiple contexts and references, the exhibition acts as catalyst for performances, screenings, talks and other forms of engagement.
Theatre, performance and dance often crosses over to the medium of fine art when creating new strategies. This exchange is mutual when exhibitions and artists build on the ideas of post-Brechtian and post-dramatic theatre. Each artist in the exhibition employs a wide variety of tactics, developed in genres such as stand up comedy, political theatre or psychodrama. Investigating everyday life situations through a level of abstraction, the works seek alternative models for narration and to describe relations between the individual and society. Combined with ideas stemming from the social sphere such as ecological protests and utopian scientific experiments, this project takes an approach that links to current theoretical developments in the areas of cultural identity, models for communities and social and political activism. To provide multiple entry points to the project, the glossary serves to introduce further ideas and notions that inspired our discussions and informed the artists’ processes to inquire into human agency.
In their films Anja Kirschner and David Panos focus on modes of performance, from acting techniques to digital compositing, in an enquire into the relationship between drama and performance, ideology and subjectivity. Their work unravels the processes involved in re-enacting a ‘realistic’ representation of a given character, and how to create empathy in the viewer from the performers’ standpoint. Uncanny Valley connects the investigation into acting modes started with Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances with a longstanding interest in digital compositing and animation techniques. The piece weaves together footage of actors in a motion capture shoot with imagery created by crowd generating software. Moving between the intimate process of capturing minute facial expressions and the construction of epic scenes, the work examines the contemporary representation of these two extremes of experience.

Professional DOP James Crowe, CSC, helping Film students set up a shot.
The past two years the Film and Acting students have worked together to shoot the best of the acting students' Dramatic Scriptwriting course scripts.
This is addition to the BRTF students' commercials, TV pilots, music videos and short film assignments in which they cast acting students through an audition process that parallels what the acting students will experience after they graduate.
Theory and practice come together with the students taking the lead.

I utilized bubbles because, sometimes for scriptwriting, a childish catalyst is necessary for ideas. This relates to my topic because, while bubbles are meant for children, they are actually a calming factor and many parents play along with their kids by blowing bubbles in the summertime. This stoops adults back to their child-at heart attitudes, and that is sometimes what cartoons are there to do: reignite that kid inside you. Cartoons are for both adults and children, and sometimes it's necessary to try something that is not originally meant for adults.

Timothy Ivison and Julia Tcharfas body of work is grounded in a sculptural practice and is driven by experimentation with object relations and historical references. They developed an aesthetic and spatial language around their research interests, ranging from utopian social theory and architectural history, to urban nature experiments. Emphasising the engagement with the city, their interdisciplinary approach often involves material local to the installation site and context. For this exhibition they created a temporary reading room and event space, as a doubling of Cecil Court’s antique bookshops. In the work in progress installations the displayed books, objects, performance documentation and visual materials from their recent artistic research related to the history of closed-systems experiments and the visualisation of systems thinking. This non-linear archaeology of materials is staged in various custom display modules and sculptural artefacts.

I don't have many "heroes," but Charlie Kaufman is one of them.
He came across as quiet but very confident and open. It was great to see him, although the event was seriously let down by the interviewing style of, and questions from, Toby Young (author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People).
