Moving Image Atelier
On Distribution
5 June 2024 (10:00am - 17:00pm) - argos centre for audiovisual arts, Brussels
On Wednesday the 5th of June, elephy is hosting a Moving Image Atelier (MIA)* on distribution at *argos centre for audiovisual arts *in the framework of the public programme of Herman Asselbergh’s Time Wasted exhbition and in partnership with Auguste Orts..
On MIA *
In 2019, elephy devised MIA as a series of workshops for artists, filmmakers and other art workers working alone or with small crews in the undefined territory between cinema and visual arts. With the aim to strengthen artistic control and enable technical decision making throughout the creative process, MIA workshops have examined the technical dimensions of moving image, sound, and post-production and invited guest speakers as artists Noski Deville, Luke Fowler, Mona Hendayati, Margaret Salmon, Alex Reynolds, to name but a few, in order to share their know how with a group of moving image makers.
On Distribution
For this upcoming MIA edition, elephy invite an array of moving image arts workers to speak about distribution and promotion from varying perspectives from producers, who consider a film’s audiences whilst in the making, to programmers, who select films when evolved.
Speakers of the day include: Laurence Alary (head of distribution at argos), Pauline David (director of Festival En Ville !), Alice Lemaire (producer at Michigan Films), Turab Shah (filmmaker and co-founder ofOther Cinemas), Laura Staab (writer and editor atMUBI).
