Workshop Description:
HANDS ON: working in darkness, colour and light
workshop with artists and filmmakers: Julian Curico & Imogen HeathLighting has a history of reproducing a white supremacist and gender-binary gaze on to subjects presented in moving image. Through deconstruction and awareness we can figure out new ways of lighting our realities, Through collaborative efforts, confrontation and resolution, we propose to practically explore color light sources as a means for challenging existing norms. We propose this as an opportunity for participants to get close and comfortable with various light sources, and different ways of approaching darkness, light and colour and notions of transformation and time in the image-making process. In the workshop we will open up a space for dialogue – whilst looking at work from artists who are proposing political and/or empowered worlds of light, and also creating a practical space to propose lighting situations together imagining worlds beyond the status-quo.
Please note: workshop will take place in English.
DATE: 21st June
Time: 12 – 6pmBIO:

Imogen has long-running collaborations with many artists based in Berlin, including Liz Rosenfeld (USA) Marit Östberg (Sweden) and PlanningToRock (UK).
Julian Curico:
“I find definitions sometimes tricky and from my experience the video work is considered as either art or porn and I am not opposed to either definition. The intentions that go in to my work is not to arouse the audience, but the arousal is a welcomed reaction!”
Julian Curico is an artist, photographer & filmmaker based in Berlin. His shortfilm Seahorses (2014) has been shown at festival screenings in Germany, Sweden, Portugal and Australia. He has produced and directed music videos for musicians Sky Deep and Tami T. His audiovisual installation To be heard (2019) was recently exhibited at the Valand Academy in Gothenburg this year. To Julian, creating sex positive images is a collaborative process based on consent and interest. This interest can vary and as a director and facilitator of explicit scenes he sees it as his responsibility to try to understand how he can meet the individual desire the people who take part in his project. He aims to create an intentional space where all participants, including himself, can explore freely within a structured setting. Some wants to be directed, others direct themselves or improvise through play. He finds it interesting to try to expand the notion of what intimacy is and can be, and feels a need to challenge restrictive norms of decency and to create a space where sexuality & the body is valued outside of judgement and shame

Description:
Queer- feminist porn filmmaker Marit Östberg and experimental filmmaker and artist Liz Rosenfeld have created an intensive course regarding relationships of sex/sexuality on film and in production.
We will be dealing with questions stemming from subjects such as sex and empowerment, consent, the sexual politics of bodies on film, while searching for and discussing what feminist and queer methodologies in porn, erotic cinema, and various sexual imagery on film can be. Together with students we will talk about issues such as how to create safe space, the politics of sexual authenticity, sex workers rights, activism, self care and negotiation from the perspective of both filmmaker, director and crew. Together we will engage in readings, discussion and various production exercises exploring what representation of sex on film is and can be. Marit and Liz will also talk about their own experiences of producing sexuality explicit film work, and their own methods of creating this work from queer and feminist political perspectives.
This course is a safe and supportive space for people of all genders, and identifications. Students should be prepared to engage with sexually explicit examples of film and literature.
