CINEMA LAB

The start of the workshop will be announced soon. Reserve your place by filling in the form or contact us.

The ProvaT.O. Athens Film Workshop invites all those who want to get in touch with the art of cinema, to cultivate their creativity and to learn the basic principles of audiovisual storytelling.

During the workshop, we will approach the history of cinema, the cinematic genres and we will analyze the qualities of the actors and their tasks. We will dive into how a script is written, how specialists work taking on specific roles, such as the set designer, the costume designer, the editor to list a few. We will learn how actors work on their roles and how to direct a film with simple materials and with everyday "tools" such as a mobile phone.

Small groups will be created based on everyone's personal preference and at the end of the workshop each group will have made a short film of 3 to 8 minutes, which will be presented live at the end of the program.

Through this process, everyone is given the opportunity to discover and develop their vocation, whether it is in scriptwriting, filmmaking-editing, the art of acting, or even in the organization and execution of the production of a film. Our aim is to give participants an insider's view of all the stages of film production.
