EXICITING AND UNIQUE FILMMAKING PROGRAM
March 13- May 20, 2017
MAKE FILMS!
RIFS is accepting applications to be part of our unique program this spring:
We will accept 8 STUDENTS ONLY (two teams of four key participant filmmakers):
– TWO DIRECTORS
– TWO PRODUCERS
– TWO CINEMATOGRAPHERS
– TWO EDITORS
These students will collaborate on the making of TWO ORIGINAL SHORT FILMS produced with RIFS equipment, as well as production and faculty support.
Each team – director, producer, cinematographer and editor – will produce one of the films, while working as crew and in support roles on the other film.
The entire term will be dedicated to the script development, pre-production, casting, production and shooting, and post production and completion of the two films.
RIFS Faculty will be on hand throughout the process to serve in advisory roles in all phases, in writing, prep, on set and in post.
The term will end with a PUBLIC SCREENING AND PUBLICITY for the films. RIFS will also submit and promote the films for INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL EXPOSURE.
The SCRIPTS: Students applying can also submit proposals / screenplays, which will be read and judged and ultimately selected by our key faculty and advisory board members. Selected film scripts will then be polished by the students with the guidance of our screenwriting faculty members.
Places are limited so we encourage prospective filmmaking students to apply now! When applying please be clear about your experience and in which capacity you would like to be considered.
When the 8 students are selected and confirmed we will execute the review of submitted screenplays for the projects.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity for students with some film experience who want to learn and grow with HANDS-ON, PRACTICAL, EXPERIENCE MAKING FILMS. All training will be centered around the needs and demands of the development and production of these projects. Instead of abstract classes, use the opportunity to gain an important credit on a quality film.
Tuition for the semester is €5,500, which covers all classes and the use of RIFS’ high-end professional production equipment and facilities.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
With two groups shooting films simultaneously during the four weeks in the middle of the term, RIFS can provide both units with all the gear they will need. Students will shoot with professional 4K cameras and lenses and can choose the output and workflow they are most comfortable with. Lighting and grip gear will be professional, including tungsten and daylight units, C-stands and gobos, fluid head tripods, screens, nets, silks and other support gear.
SPRING SPECIAL EVENTS
RIFS will also be offering students the opportunity to participate in frequent exciting special evening events taking place both at RIFS itself and in the world of Roman cinema including screenings and film premieres and Q&A’s with notable filmmakers and guests.
