Filmmaking Workshop “Haiku Happens” by Werner Penzel
29 – 31 Oct 2014, 10 am – 12 pm and 1 pm – 4 pm
Goethe Institut
From Goethe Institut:
“HAIKU HAPPENS” is a new and open genre – inspired by the art of Japanese Haiku-poetry: make a movie out of three images.
By practicing haiku-movie-making we can find out and learn about the essentials of movie-making without getting locked up into too much theory or genre-differences, but rather learning by doing, discovering how to find the magic of a single moment and capture it at the same time with a running camera.
Werner Penzel was born in 1950 and grew up on the countryside in the South of Germany. In the 1960s he was engaged primarily in music and poetry, before turning to moviemaking in the early 1970s. He studied at the Munich Film Academy, cooperated with the Brazilian Theatre Company “Uzyna” and travelled to South America, North Africa, India and Japan. After his successful movies “Vagabunden Karawane” (1980), “Adios Al Odio” (1986) and others he and author, film director and fellow traveler Nicolas Humbert founded the production company “CineNomad” in 1987. Their first major project was the music film “Step Across the Border” about the English composer Fred Frith. Premiered in 1990, the film gained international attention and received awards at numerous film festivals. In 2000, critics from the Cahier du Cinéma magazine ranked it among the hundred most significant films of the 20th century.
